What is TCP/IP ?


IP is the thing that makes sure the messages are delivered and TCP is
the contents of the message.

LLT is Low Latency Transport protocol. It makes sure that the messages
are delivered between nodes of the cluster (for the technical among us,
it uses DLPI layer - thus layer 2 - comms)

GAB is Global Membership Atomic Broadcast. This is the contents of the
cluster info being carried between nodes in the cluser. Stuff like
(never would have guessed this, but) Membership and the state of the
cluster on the different nodes.

For LLT you need 2 physical links. So the /etc/llttab contains the names
of the links, the name or number of the node in the cluster as well as
the cluster number it belongs to. (man llttab is a good place to start -
or for those windows people , try "man man") The /etc/gabtab file tells
GAB how to start up (mostly contains the number of nodes needed to seed
the cluster - man gabtab is a good place to start)
