SWIM Implementations

Here I'm trying to read/understand the SWIM implementations in existing libraries and relate it to the paper details.

• SWIM Ring/ RingPop
• Hashicorp Memberlist

Good Resource

• Visualizer
• SWIM Paper

Core Ideas

• Dissemination Protocol
• Failure Detection Protocol: Direct Send vs Indirect Send (Ping, PingRequest, PingResponse)
• Incarnation Number & Suspect Protocol
• Round Robin Selection of Next Member to Ping

Good Videos (Watch later)
