implementing reliable multicast on top of raft consensus

[Ravikumar.T naidu]

i am trying to understand raft consensus algorithm with an intent to implement reliable multicast on top of it. 

a system similar to totem , is there any readily available library. please point me to it. 

any suggestions would help.

Hi Ravikumar, 

You can find some raft implementation at http://raftconsensus.github.io/. 

As far as I know, logCabin and go-raft are used by several projects. 

For your reliable multicast service, how do you want to use raft? 

Actually you can view raft itself as a totally ordered and reliable IP multicast service. 

Thanks,

Xiang

Thanks for the answers, 

you answered the question , i was looking for a totally ordered reliable multicast service. 

but raft is not peer to peer right ? 

every message from client needs to go to the master machine and then broadcasted from there 

correct me if i am wrong.

Your multicast group has to be the raft cluster. If you have two multicast group, then you need to form two raft cluster. This approach is costly.
