Re:Byzantine Fault Tolerant Raft With Smart Contracts by spopejoy on Thursday March 03, 2016 @01:50AM (#11215426)
Juno follows Raft/Tangaroa in that it treats the state machine like a black box which it runs strictly post-commit.

Significantly, this means it doesn't do a full BFT (which is ultimately application-specific), meaning it is possible to DOS with correct-but-spurious messages.

We are investigating ways to lazily verify SM results, which would necessarily be application specific. This opens the way for an application to code DOS resistance.
