Query: ezBFT: Decentralizing Byzantine Fault-Tolerant State Machine Replication   We present ezBFT, a novel leaderless, distributed consensus protocol capable
of tolerating byzantine faults. ezBFT's main goal is to minimize the
client-side latency in WAN deployments. It achieves this by (i) having no
designated primary replica, and instead, enabling every replica to order the
requests that it receives from clients; (ii) using only three communication
steps to order requests in the common case; and (iii) involving clients
actively in the consensus process. In addition, ezBFT minimizes the potentially
negative effect of a byzantine replica on the overall system performance. We
developed ezBFT's formal specification in TLA+, show that it provides the
classic properties of BFT protocols including consistency, stability, and
liveness, and developed an implementation. Our experimental evaluation reveals
that ezBFT improves client-side latency by as much as 40% over state-of-the-art
byzantine fault-tolerant protocols including PBFT, FaB, and Zyzzyva.
