Simulate arrival of finality certificate from future rounds #327

Open masih opened 3 months ago

masih commented 3 months ago

In a realistic environment it is possible for finality certificate from future rounds to arrive at any time with un-guaranteed delivery semantics. Enhance simulation options such that the following is configurable:

arrival of finality certificate from future instances for all participants
asynchronous skip ahead to a future instance among participants
partial delivery of finality certificate and therefore uneven skip ahead to future round across the network

This is now somewhat tested in TestPauseResumeCatchup, but better simulation tests would be nice.

Are we testing security or performance with this?

Correctness.
