Introduction
In distributed data base and transaction systems a distributed commit protocol is required to ensure that the effects of a distributed transaction are atomic, that is, either all the effects of the transaction persist or none persist, whether or not failures occur. Several commit protocols have been proposed in the literature. These are variations of what has become a standard and known as the two-phase commit (2PC) protocol.
