What is the exact term and how is it spelled?

Hi,
I recently heard a term : "corum" or "coram" or something like it refering
to a network architecture where tehre are (let's say) 5 computers
communicating together and then if 2 of them get split, the 3 remaining
continue to work, but the 2 left alones stop working because they don't have
the majority...

I don't know if I'm clear enough, but, could someone shed some light on
this? I mean, what is the real term for this and how is it spelled? I
tried googling on it, but found nothing.

Thanks

ThunderMusic

What you describe sounds like a quorum. But that's has nothing to do with a
network architecture.
See:

thanks a lot. That's exactly why I asked about it... I want to know exactly
what it is so thanks for the name and for the link to the wikipedia article
on it.
