Asymmetric Linearizable Local Reads
Summary: Shows existing linearizable local-read algorithms incur worst-case read latency ≥ network relative diameter minus the known min message delay; proves this limitation. Introduces two algorithms exploiting asymmetric message delays to give processes near the leader/center worst-case reads below the relative diameter, with up to 50× reduction in experiments.
