commitprotocollen
Commit protocollen, often translated as commit protocols or consensus protocols, are fundamental mechanisms in distributed computing that ensure all participants in a system agree on a particular value or state. This agreement, or consensus, is crucial for maintaining data consistency and reliability in systems where multiple nodes must coordinate their actions. The primary goal of a commit protocol is to guarantee that either all participating nodes successfully commit a transaction or none of them do, preventing partial updates that could lead to inconsistencies.
A common example of a commit protocol is the two-phase commit (2PC). In the first phase, a
Commit protocols are essential for applications requiring transactional integrity, such as distributed databases, financial systems, and
