Hi In the Config file defaults, we can find : #define DEFAULT_HELLO_TIMER 5 /* Period between HELLO messages */ #define DEFAULT_DEADNODE_TIMER 21 /* If we don't get a message from a #define DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES 5 /* Number of times we resend a message */ That seems to mean that the node sends a Hello message on heart-beat interface every 5s, waits at max 21s before retry and this 5 times, and if at 5th time , it has no response in the 21s period , it decides to kill the other node. Am I right ? Besides, could you explain for me the JOINREQ, JOINACK, and JOINCONF notions ?
