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).
