Group Communication

Within each member process, the group library connects to the group service within the FTL server. While connected, the member and the group service exchange periodic protocol messages. When disconnected, the member initiates reconnection.

For best performance, run all group members in nearby geographical proximity to one another.

Group protocol communication depends on application definitions that define endpoints, on transports that connect members to the group service, and on the formats of group protocol messages.
