The descriptionsare given using the language Maude based on rewriting logic. Particularly, the timeaspects of the protocol are studied. The descriptions are first validated by an exhaustiveexploration of all the possible behaviors and states reachable from an initialconfiguration of a network, checking that always only one leader is chosen. The correctnessof the protocol is showed by a formal proof that the desirable properties ofthe protocol are always fulfilled. %~
