Raymond Tree Algorithm : Token Based

Raymond’s tree-based mutual exclusion algorithm is a distributed algorithm used to ensure mutual exclusion in a system of interconnected nodes. It organizes nodes in a logical tree structure, where a unique token grants access to the critical section. A node wanting access sends a request along the tree towards the token holder. The token moves towards the requesting node via a path of requests, and once the node finishes execution, it passes the token to the next requester in the queue. This ensures efficient message passing, reducing communication overhead compared to other token-based algorithms.
