framework for evaluating (planet-scale) consensus protocols

fantoch: framework for evaluating (planet-scale) consensus protocols

Protocols implemented

• Tempo (EuroSys'21): source
• Atlas (EuroSys'20): source
• EPaxos (SOSP'13): source
• Janus (OSDI'16): source
• FPaxos (OPODIS'16): source
• Caesar (DSN'17): source

What does it do?

• all protocols implement the Protocol trait
• this specification can then be used for
  • simulating the expected latency in a given geo-distributed scenario (infinite CPU and network bandwidth are assumed)
  • running the protocols in a real setting (e.g. baremetal, AWS, Azure)
• this is achieved by providing a "simulator" and a "runner" that are protocol-agnostic and are only aware of the Protocol (and Executor) trait

fantoch is also capable of generating plots like the following one:
