Proposed Resolution Issue 81: Partition Healing
Addition of the ‘C’onflict bit
Responder sets the ‘C’ bit in responses that are not UNIQUE
Sender detects a conflict if it receives multiple responses, and the ‘C’ bit is clear in one or more
Sender detecting a conflict sends same query with ‘C’ bit set
Responders receiving a query with the ‘C’ bit set treat it as advisory, carry out UNIQUEness verification
If a conflict is confirmed, then conflict resolution is triggered.
Conflict resolution logic
Lowest address wins.
