Abstract

See full text

A method for selecting a consensus protocol comprises separating a consensus protocol into one or more communication steps, wherein the consensus protocol is useable to substantially maintain data consistency between nodes in a distributed computing system, and wherein a communication step comprises a message transfer, attributable to the consensus protocol, in the distributed computing system, and computing an estimated protocol-level delay based on one or more attributes associated with the separated communication steps of the consensus protocol.
