Description

Hi,

I would like to know more about the eventual consitency mechanic. Precisely, I would like to know if it is possible that two processes are registered against the same name, and so the temporary replicate would consume a message sent to that name. Which would mean that message would be lost. Is this scenario possible with the static ring?

Thank you

Research direction

Start with the README's discussion of eventual consistency and the static ring. Determine whether two processes can share a name and whether a temporary replica could consume the message, then clarify the documented behavior and answer this scenario explicitly.
