What is Q in QBFT in hyperledger besu?

[esumit]

I read through all specifications of https://entethalliance.github.io/client-spec/qbft_spec.html, and also https://besu.hyperledger.org/en/stable/

It talks about QBFT, but nowhere exactly mentioned what is Q? BFT is for Byzantine Fault Tolerant, Assuming Q means Quorum here?

Hi @esumit, not sure this is the official answer but yes I would say it stands for Quorum. QBFT is implemented by both Besu and GoQuorum and both these products are part of the Quorum product suite.

That means you could run a mixed network of Besu and GoQuorum nodes, should you wish, because they interoperate when using QBFT.

Thanks @siladu
