PigPaxos: Devouring the Communication Bottlenecks in Distributed Consensus
Summary: PigPaxos uses in-protocol aggregation and piggybacking to remove leader bottlenecks in strongly consistent Paxos replications. Randomly rotating relay nodes relay leader messages and aggregate acks in-network, yielding up to 3× throughput gains over Paxos/EPaxos with minimal latency, supported by analytical bottleneck modeling.
