Abstract
The systems and methods of the present invention provide a quiescing protocol. In one embodiment, nodes of a system utilize the protocol to complete processing until they reach a consistent state. In one embodiment, a coordinator initiates the quiescing process and the nodes communicate with each other to determine whether their messages have been processed and communicate with the coordinator to determine when all of the messages have been processed.
