Fault tolerance.

For each of the following system attributes, describe how process migration can increase it in a system and an inefficient implementation reduce it.


Process migration increases fault tolerance because processes can be migrated away from malfunctioning nodes. However, it can decrease fault tolerance if an implementation allows a lot of residual dependency. In this case, migrated processes depend on two nodes functioning properly rather than just one.
