the challenge is that 9p is stateful, so all servers must replay the same messages in the same order; this means that if one of the replicas fails or returns a result that is not the same as the other, the front falls off. this means mirroring messages naïvely reduces reliability and performance, rather than increasing it. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T769854fafd2b7d35-M932bce5897117e1749590e6b Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
