Scuttlebutt is a library that maintains a list of peers in a cluster using a gossip protocol inspired by SWIM.

Different techniques are used to improve over the SWIM protocol:

• Infection-style communication using UDP instead of multicast.
• Suspicion mechanism for the failure detection to reduce the false positives.
• Round-robin probing allows the probing of all peers in a bounded time.
• Regular full synchronisation between peers to reduce convergence time.
