The [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.04938) describes the algorithm with
|
||||
pseudocode on page 6. This pseudocode is written as a series of conditions for
|
||||
advancement. This is extremely archaic, as its a fraction of the actually
|
||||
required code. This is due to its hand-waving away of data tracking, lack of
|
||||
comments (beyond the entire rest of the paper, of course), and lack of
|
||||
specification regarding faulty nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
While the "hand-waving" is both legitimate and expected, as it's not the paper's
|
||||
job to describe a full message processing loop nor efficient variable handling,
|
||||
it does leave behind ambiguities and annoyances, not to mention an overall
|
||||
structure which cannot be directly translated. This document is meant to be a
|
||||
description of it enabling translation.
|
||||
|
||||
The described pseudocode segments can be minimally described as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
01-09 Init
|
||||
10-10 StartRound(0)
|
||||
11-21 StartRound
|
||||
22-27 Fresh proposal
|
||||
28-33 Proposal building off a valid round with prevotes
|
||||
34-35 2f+1 prevote -> schedule timeout prevote
|
||||
36-43 First proposal with prevotes -> precommit Some
|
||||
44-46 2f+1 nil prevote -> precommit nil
|
||||
47-48 2f+1 precommit -> schedule timeout precommit
|
||||
49-54 First proposal with precommits -> finalize
|
||||
55-56 f+1 round > local round, jump
|
||||
57-60 on timeout propose
|
||||
61-64 on timeout prevote
|
||||
65-67 on timeout precommit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Remaining:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
36-43 First proposal with prevotes -> precommit Some
|
||||
57-60 on timeout propose
|
||||
61-64 on timeout prevote
|
||||
65-67 on timeout precommit
|
||||
```
