Abstract :
In recent years, many replication control protocols have been proposed, but too often these protocols are presented with insufficient evidence to demonstrate superiority over existing protocols. Some simple analytical tools that allow replication control protocols to be compared are presented. Markov analysis is used to estimate both availability and reliability performance measures. A dynamic voting protocol is used as an example
