Abstract
Methods of querying a large number of endsystems are described in which metadata is replicated between endsystems. When a query is injected, an available endsystem receives a message relating to the query which identifies a range of endsystems for which that available endsystem is responsible. The available endsystem then generates completeness data for the range of endsystems based on data stored at the endsystem and this completeness data is transmitted to the sender of the message. The methods may be implemented using device-executable instructions which may be stored on device readable media.
