Many distributed protocols and applications rely on causal broadcast to ensure consistency criteria. However, none of causality tracking state-of-the-art approaches scale in large and dynamic systems. This paper presents a new non-blocking causal broadcast protocol suited for dynamic systems. The proposed protocol outperforms state-of-the-art in size of messages, execution time complexity, and local space complexity. Most importantly, messages piggyback control information the size of which is constant. We prove that for both static and dynamic systems. Consequently, large and dynamic systems can finally afford causal broadcast.
