Drop messages from past rounds (except COMMIT)

anorth opened this issue · 0 comments

Messages from prior rounds can't affect the protocol execution, except for late-arriving COMMITs which can cause a decision. I don't think it causes any problem if we process them, but dropping is an easy and worthwhile optimisation.

(They should still be rebroadcast to other participants, so don't mark them as invalid).
