In this paper, we model the performance of three consensus and atomic broadcast algorithms using failure detectors in the oft-neglected setting of wide area networks and validate this model by experimentally evaluating the algorithms in several different setups.Atomic broadcastperformance evaluationwide area networkhigh latencywide area network modelfailure detectorModeling and validating the performance of atomic broadcast algorithms in high-latency networkstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
