Question

I'm learning Distributed Operating System,and I have a question about Voting protocol: "When should I use static voting protocol instead dynamic voting protocol?" (that mean, in any case static voting protocol is better than dynamic voting protocol).

Answer 1

As stated in this set of notes on voting protocols:

13. Benefits of static voting
    (a) Simple protocol
    (b) Little state kept at each site (version number only). Very scalable.
    (c) Good for static configurations that are realiable (parallel computers)
