 * Advantages of Multi-Master replication:

+- Avoids a single point of failure
 - Masters can be located in several physical sites i.e. distributed across the 
 network/globe.

+- If connectivity with a master is lost because of a network partition, then 
+"automatic failover" can just compound the problem
+- Typically, a particular machine cannot distinguish between losing contact
+ with a peer because that peer crashed, or because the network link has failed
+- If a network is partitioned and multiple clients start writing to each of the

+- Masters {{B:must}} propagate writes to {{B:all}} the other servers, which

+of the servers
