Timers in State Vector Sync

State Vector Sync (SVS) is a Distributed Dataset Synchronization (Sync) protocol designed to support distributed applications running over NDN. The design of SVS has two unique features that set it apart from all the previous Sync protocol designs. First, SVS encodes the raw information of data namespace to be synchronized in its Sync Interest packets. Second, and related, it uses Sync Interests as notifications which do not solicit data replies. To reveal insights of how its unique design features enable SVS to outperform its counterparts, in this poster we describe the operation of two types of timers used in SVS and their effectiveness in minimizing protocol overhead while keeping synchronization delay low.
