+Using a gossip mechanism nodes inform each other about changes in connectivity characteristics (i. e., a Connectivity
+Domain split or merge) and resolve conflicting CDIDs. All
+nodes include CDIDs in their routing information. Thus
+other nodes can immediately decide whether they can com-
+municate directly with a certain node by comparing CDIDs,
+which can also be used to discover shorter relay paths [3].
+For demonstration purpose, the network settings shown in
+Figure 2 can be modified by connecting and removing relay-
+ing nodes, as well as connecting nodes to different networks
+interactively. ariba will automatically sustain connectivity
+between nodes. To visualize internal protocol functionality
+the application additionally shows its local view of the net-
+work: relay paths traversing the node and logical neighbors.
+In its current form our approach has the following open
+issues: First, the overlay re-join mechanisms may suffer from
+overlay partitioning, and second, relay paths may degrade
+in case of network setting reconfiguration. However, our
+approach is feasible in a practical setting and allows easy
+deployment, as shown in the demonstration.
