We study unlimited infinite churn in peer-to-peer overlay networks. Under this churn, arbitrary many peers may concurrently request to join or leave the overlay network; moreover these requests may never stop coming. We prove that unlimited adversarial churn, where processes may just exit the overlay network, is unsolvable. We focus on cooperative churn where exiting processes participate in th...

The InfiniBand technology (IB) development community, e.g. Mellanox, Voltaire, Topspin, InfiniCon, etc. are deploying their next generation NICs and switches [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The NICs are based on the PCI Express bus and the switches employ a 24 port switch chip developed by Mellanox. This new switch chip has led to the development of high port count (e.g. 144 and 288 ports) standalone switches...
