Abstract

Protocols which solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault-tolerant distributed applications. Raft consensus protocol proposed by Ongaro and Ousterhout is a simple consensus protocol. It basically consumes every resource in the system for achieving an agreement. Thus, there is a problem on resource and energy consumption. This paper proposes an energy-efficient Raft protocol with the resource management mechanism. Then, we show the performance evaluation of the proposed protocol regarding messages sent by nodes.
