ABCperf: Performance Evaluation of Fault Tolerant State Machine Replication Made Simple: Demo Abstract

We demonstrate a framework that simplifies the performance evaluation of fault tolerant State Machine Replication in the permissioned model. ABCperf offers a message passing abstraction with eventual delivery on top of which interchangeable Atomic Broadcast algorithms and decentralized applications can be independently implemented. Varying network quality (i.e., latency, packet loss) and attacker behavior (i.e., omission faults) can be directly configured and are emulated by the ABCperf core. The framework allows the real-time manipulation of configuration options and visualizes performance indicators and statistics in real time.
