Distributed Gossip in networks is a well studied and observed problem which can be accomplished using different gossiping styles. This work focusses on the development, analysis and evaluation of a novel in-situ distributed gossip protocol framework design called (INDIGO). A core aspect of INDIGO is its ability to execute on a simulation setup as well as a system testbed setup in a seamless manner allowing easy portability. The evaluations focus on application of INDIGO to solve problems such as distributed average consensus, distributed seismic event location and lastly distributed seismic tomography. The results obtained herein validate the efficacy and reliability of INDIGO.
