What is the desired end result? What is the application? A simple
application may not need a "real" networking protocol. If "cluster"
means distributed processing, then you have a lot more than just
protocols to figure out.

There are some token passing protocols implemented

With a ring, you could use a token but that would require
a master to start things and restore the ring when it was broken.
