Scaling byzantine fault-tolerant replication towide area networks
International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN'06), 2006•ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper presents the first hierarchical Byzantine fault-tolerant replication architecture
suitable to systems that span multiple wide area sites. The architecture confines the effects
of any malicious replica to its local site, reduces message complexity of wide area
communication, and allows read-only queries to be performed locally within a site for the
price of additional hardware. A prototype implementation is evaluated over several network
topologies and is compared with a flat Byzantine fault-tolerant approach
suitable to systems that span multiple wide area sites. The architecture confines the effects
of any malicious replica to its local site, reduces message complexity of wide area
communication, and allows read-only queries to be performed locally within a site for the
price of additional hardware. A prototype implementation is evaluated over several network
topologies and is compared with a flat Byzantine fault-tolerant approach
