Most of what we know about distributed systems is theoretical, and few of the theories have been tested in actual systems. Grapevine, along with other such experimental systems, provides crucial experience with and data about distributed systems. The authors of this article and an earlier article describing Grapevine [1] have operated the system in an environment where solutions to documented problems can be implemented and evaluated. Original design decisions can be altered or fine-tuned based on empirical evidence. Although Grapevine offers relatively primitive services, and is of limited scope, useful lessons have been learned that can be extended to other systems. Grapevine offers terminal users a unified mail system spanning multiple computers on the Xerox research internet. The system provides for access control services, resource location, and message delivery. Messages are directed to recipients individually, or, by means of a distribution list, to a perspecified group of users. The network consists of stand-alone personal workstations and shared mail servers. Reliability is primarily assured by replication. This more recent article recapitulates, in a briefer format, the details of the implementation. The authors then go on to report on further operational experience, and system modifications which resulted from more extensive use. Their experience contributes to an improved understanding of the functional requirements and operational behavior of distributed systems. Those interested in Grapevine may also be interested in an article on network interconnection standards which discusses Grapevine in this regard [2].
