Updating Replicated Data During Communications Failures

Summary: Updates to replicated data continue during communication failures by allowing each site to process and revise its local copy independently. Efficient merging leverages semantic properties of updates to reconcile received changes with minimal overhead across sites. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
