Abstract
A method for providing a status of a device to a plurality of devices in a distributed system includes receiving a status data packet from the device, the status data packet including the status of the device. The method also includes saving the status of the device to a memory and obtaining a list of the plurality of devices in the distributed system. The list is associated with a sequence for circulating the status data packet between the plurality of devices. The method further includes sending the status data packet including the status of the device to a next device in the sequence.
