Could the gossip architecture be used for a distributed computer game as described in Exercise
18.3?
What will be an ideal response?
As far as ordering is concerned, the answer is ‘yes’ – gossip supports causal and total ordering. However,
gossip introduces essentially arbitrary propagation delays, instead of the best-effort propagation of multicast.
Long delays would tend to affect the interactivity of the game.
