Overview
VERIFY_SUSPECT is a protocol that checks a suspected member.
Suspect Verification
VERIFY_SUSPECT verifies that a suspected member is really dead by pinging that member once again. If the member responds, it drops the SUSPECT message. Tries to minimize false suspicions.
The protocol works as follows: it catches SUSPECT events traveling up the stack. Verifies that the suspected member is really dead. If yes, passes SUSPECT event up the stack, otherwise discards it.
VERIFY_SUSPECT must be placed somewhere above the failure detection layer and below the GMS layer (receiver of the SUSPECT event). Note that SUSPECT events may be reordered by this protocol.
