Overview:

Network protocol designers have always been divided between the adoption of centralized or distributed communication architectures. Despite exhibiting negative aspects like the existence of a single point-of-failure in the master as well as computational overhead and an inefficient handling of the asynchronous communications, Master-Slave protocols have always found their space mainly given their simplicity of operation and deployment as well as good control over the communication medium. Along the years, many protocols based in this paradigm have been proposed, with many of them being still used today. Some of the negative aspects traditionally exhibited by these protocols have also been attenuated, e.g. with master replication and master/multi-slave control, but the handling of asynchronous requests is still a limitation concerning the response time and overhead.
