!!!Overview

Failure detection protocol based on a ring of TCP sockets created between group members. Each member in a group connects to its neighbor. Last member connects to first, thus forming a ring. Member B is suspected when its neighbor A detects abnormally closed TCP socket presumably due to a node B crash. However, if a member B is about to leave gracefully, it lets its neighbor A know, so that it does not become suspected.

One FD_SOCK disadvantage is that hung servers and/or crashed switches will not cause sockets to be closed. Therefore hung members will not be suspected and network partitions due to switch failures will not be detected. A solution to this problem is to use both FD and FD_SOCK failure detection protocols.
