It would also limit a Gluster cluster to a single broadcast domain. We would have to find a way to manage these challenges, do you have any thoughts?<br><br><span name="x"></span><div><div>Thanks, <br>

At the moment, write performance scales inversely <br>linearly (O(n)) as additional nodes are added, which gets in the way of <br>scalability. It'd be really useful if this could be done using reliable <br>multicast (e.g. PGM), as the scaling wouldn't be inverse (it would go to <br>O(1)).
