SWIM Scalable Weakly Consistent Infection Style Process Group Membership Protocol
Scalable The SWIM effort is motivated by the unscalability of
traditional heartbeating protocols.

Limitations Update Latency Problem Solution Separate Gossip Timer
Limitations Cannot Handle Network Partitions Problem Solution Track and Retry
Recently Dead Nodes
Limitations No Concept of Graceful Leave (vs Failure) Problem Solution
Broadcast and Tracking of "Intents"
Limitations New Nodes Take Too Long Materialize Initial State Problem
Solution Anti-entropy TCP State Syncs
Limitations No built-in facility for user data Problem Solution Implement
user payloads (ordering via lamport clocks)
Limitations No peer metadata, only IP Addresses Problem Solution Inject
versioned peer metadata into state messages
Limitations No encryption Problem Solution Implement AES-GCM with key rotation
