I'm learning Distributed Operating System,and I have a question about Voting protocol: "When should I use static voting protocol instead dynamic voting protocol?" (that mean, in any case static voting protocol is better than dynamic voting protocol).

Link to voting protocol.

  • This is an algorithmic question. Can you link to an online version of the algorithms pseudocode and/or descriptions? This always helps in getting better answers sooner. – tucuxi Jan 01 '14 at 09:35
  • Generally speaking, whenever both terms are used, *static* = simple, but less flexible than *dynamic* = complex, but can adapt to changing situations. – tucuxi Jan 01 '14 at 09:37

As stated in this set of notes on voting protocols:

  1. Benefits of static voting
    (a) Simple protocol
    (b) Little state kept at each site (version number only). Very scalable.
    (c) Good for static configurations that are realiable (parallel computers)
