Abstract :
A leader election algorithm based on the performance and the operation rate of nodes and links as proposed. The performance of the existing leader election algorithms should be improved because a distributed system pauses until a node becomes a unique leader among all nodes in the system. The pre-election algorithm that elects a provisional leader while the leader is executing is also introduced
