bftpubsub

This is an example application for testing the "Authenticated Broadcast" and "Reliable Broadcast" protocols using Goxos.

For more information, see [1] and [2].

Notes:

• There are two helper scripts for running each of the two protocols: runauthbc and runrelbc.
• The publisher is set to publish a fixed amount of publications. The number of publications can be adjusted in the configuration file.
• All client, liveness and failure handling modules are disabled when using these two protocols.
