A Node/Express implementation of the bully algorithm.
Run npm install.
For a quick demo, run npm test. The test script will launch a local 5-node network. The network will elect a coordinator when a node initializes or when the current coordinator does not respond to health checks.
For a custom network, run npm run start <nodes...> for each node where <nodes...> is a space-separated list of nodes in the network. The first node in each list should be the node being instantiated.
A node should be entered as a <key>:<url> pair where <key> is a unique integer and <url> is the node's base URL.
Example 3-node network:
npm run start 1:http://localhost:3000 2:http://localhost:3001 3:http://localhost:3002
npm run start 2:http://localhost:3001 1:http://localhost:3000 3:http://localhost:3002
npm run start 3:http://localhost:3002 1:http://localhost:3000 2:http://localhost:3001
