Abstract

Most practical techniques for locating remote objects in a distributed system suffer from problems of scalability and locality of reference. We have devised the Arrow distributed directory protocol, a scalable and local mechanism for ensuring mutually exclusive access to mobile objects. This directory has communication complexity optimal within a factor of (1 + MST-stretch(G))/2, where MST-stretch(G) is the “minimum spanning tree stretch” of the underlying network.
