# Gossip Protocol
Nomad uses a [gossip protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip_protocol)
to manage membership. This is provided through the use of the [Serf library](https://www.serf.io/).
The gossip protocol used by Serf is based on
["SWIM: Scalable Weakly-consistent Infection-style Process Group Membership Protocol"](https://www.cs.cornell.edu/projects/Quicksilver/public_pdfs/SWIM.pdf),
with a few minor adaptations. There are more details about [Serf's protocol here](https://www.serf.io/docs/concepts/gossip.html).

## Gossip in Nomad
Nomad makes use of a single global WAN gossip pool that all servers participate in.
Membership information provided by the gossip pool allows servers to perform cross region
requests. The integrated failure detection allows Nomad to gracefully handle an entire region
losing connectivity, or just a single server in a remote region. The gossip protocol
is also used to detect servers in the same region to perform automatic clustering
via the [consensus protocol](/nomad/docs/concepts/consensus).

All of these features are provided by leveraging [Serf](https://www.serf.io/). It
is used as an embedded library to provide these features. From a user perspective,
this is not important, since the abstraction should be masked by Nomad. It can be useful
however as a developer to understand how this library is leveraged.
