Introduction to computer networking Distributed Algorithms Class Recitation
Ex. 1 - PIF Revisited • Given the PIF algorithm: Init: l N(l)0; m0; p0 Upon receipt of MSGs(l) N(l)1 if m=0 then p1 send MSGsto all lN-{l} m1 if l’ holds N(l’)=1 then send MSGs to p m0 l’ N(l’)0 • Is it possible that a node i will send messages to all its neighbors except its parent, p, before node p has? • Is it possible for node i to send a message to its parent p before node j has finished sending messages to its neighbors?
Ex. 2 • Given the PIFD algorithm, which is similar to the PIF algorithm, albeit with a second (other than the source) unique node D which behaves differently from the other nodes. For each of the following claims, determine whether the claim is true or false:
The Claims • All the nodes will receive the message after a finite time period and all will have m=1 eventually. • The algorithm ends. i.e. there is a finite time after which no more messages are transferred. • The source node knows when the algorithm has finished • When the source node finishes the algorithm, the algorithm has ended.
PIFD Algorithm For Node D: Init: Init: l N(l)0;m0; p0 Upon receipt of MSGs(l) N(l)1 if m=0 then p1 send MSGsto all neighbours m1
The Claims Revisited • All the nodes will receive the message after a finite time period and all will have m=1 eventually. • The algorithm ends. i.e. there is a finite time after which no more messages are transferred. • The source node knows when the algorithm has finished • When the source node finishes the algorithm, the algorithm has ended.
