TOTAL

The total order protocol works as follows: every member sends messages it wants to broadcast to a sequencer (usually the first member in the group). The sequencer broadcasts the message on behalf of the sender to all group members. Members order the messages FIFO, therefore establishing a total order between all messages. This protocol was implemented by Manish Sambhu (mms21@cornell.edu).
