Abstract
Mutual exclusion techniques for use in a dynamic peer-to-peer environment are described. In an implementation, a method includes receiving, at each of a plurality of logical replicas, a request from a client. Each of the logical replicas includes a queue and is for exclusive association with one of the clients. The request is for accessing one of a plurality of resources. When a particular one of the logical replicas is exclusively associated with another one of the clients, the request is stored in the queue of the particular logical replica.
