Loosely Based on Epidemic Broadcast Trees?! #58

Open ptrdtznr opened 2 years ago

ptrdtznr commented 2 years ago

After spending some time with the Epedemic Broadcast Trees (EBT) by Leitaõ and trying to run your example, I am wondering what "This module is loosely based on plumtree Epidemic Broadcast Trees EBT paper" exactly means. May it be possible that you explain in which way you differ from the paper? Cheers!

Hi @ptrdtznr

I think that question is mainly answered in https://github.com/ssbc/epidemic-broadcast-trees#comparison-to-plumtree & https://github.com/ssbc/epidemic-broadcast-trees#related-work.

Thanks ;) In other words, it ensures a small relative message redundancy (ideally of 1) without sending any lazy messages utilizing the directed acyclic graph (DAG).... thanks :)
