Abstract

Raft’s good performance in the CFT system makes it a mainstream implementation solution for the consistency of the private chain system. However, we found in practice that Raft’s performance degradation is very serious when the network latency is greater than 1 ms. Therefore, we simulated the blockchain network environment and tested the TPS performance of Raft and Multi-raft. The results show that when the TPS is the same, Multi-raft reduces network traffic by 30% compared with Raft’s leader, and the CPU load increases slightly. Based on the experimental results, we discussed the optimization scheme of Raft on the geographically distributed system, and provided ideas for future research.
