It is widely recognized that distributed systems would greatly benefit from the availability of a generic failure detection service. There are however several issues that must be addressed before such a service can actually be implemented. In this paper, we highlight the issue related to propagating information on failures in the phi failure detector for large-scale systems. Traditionally, failure detection systems provide information on suspects to every processes. However, it is not the efficient way in the large-scale system. We consider the notification system that propagates information on suspicions with content-based filtering
