@seancribbs raft assumes packets don’t arrive in the same order they were send from the remote peer, which doesn’t happen with tcp or pgm.
@Asmod4n what would Raft being "asynchronous" even mean? It sounds like you want to sacrifice consistency...

@bascule was thinking about adding something like http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all#toc119 to raft as a extra method to support a large number of followers. -
@bascule the async followers would connect to every synchronous follower and the leader, so you could replicate it in a larger area. -
@Asmod4n sounds like Zookeeper event watchers ;) -
@bascule im just a sysadmin and want a greater knowledge how this kind of stuff works under the hood by self teaching ^^ -
@Asmod4n instead you have enough nodes running the consensus protocol so they don't all go down at once, and other nodes talk to those nodes -
@bascule yeah, once the latency gets too high its over, which will happen when the nodes generate too much noise.
