Consensus Protocols

Analyzing and simulating distributed consensus in high-latency environments.

A nighttime scene featuring two large satellite dishes silhouetted against a starry sky. The foreground dish is prominently lit, while a warm glow emanates from a building beneath it. The sky is clear with scattered bright stars, and a few clouds add depth to the composition. Trees line the horizon, adding contrast to the structures.

Simulation Tools

Using ns-3 and omnet++ for performance validation experiments.

A large satellite dish is illuminated against a dark night sky, reflecting in a calm body of water in the foreground. The dish is surrounded by silhouetted trees and structures with faint, distant city lights in the background. Overhead, power lines stretch across the scene.
