Also, load-balancing after membership changes must be both multi-threaded and pipelined to drive the network at maximum bandwidth. This measures how well the IMDG’s servers use multithreading to maximize network bandwidth during load-balancing, and it also evaluates failure detection and recovery algorithms. Please retry later.
