Pool Registrar

In computing, a Pool Registrar (PR) is a component of the reliable server pooling (RSerPool) framework which manages a handlespace. PRs are also denoted as ENRP server or Name Server (NS).

The responsibilities of a PR are the following:
 * Register Pool Elements into a handlespace,
 * Deregister Pool Elements from a handlespace,
 * Monitor Pool Elements by keep-alive messages,
 * Provide handle resolution (i.e. server selection) to Pool Users,
 * Audit the consistency of a handlespace between multiple PRs,
 * Synchronize a handlespace with another PR.
