Summary:
|
Stability is one of the basic requirements for DLT platforms. Currently, the distributed nature of the DLT makes it face stability challenges. Each node in a DLT may has the capability to record transactions, but which node is eventually being selected to record is a result of the consensus algorithm. There are many factors that affect the stability of a DLT network, such as malicious nodes, network attacks, network failures, multipaths in networks, system upgrades or patches, governance disputes, Clock drift, application failure, file and disk read/write failure etc. The design of a distributed ledger system is required to take these factors into consideration and enables the distributed ledger to regain stable service through adaptive processing of the system.
This Recommendation specifies stability assessment methods for DLT platforms, which focus on stability assessment methods and test cases for DLT. It contains the test purpose, workflow, and expected results for each test case. This Recommendation can be used as a guideline for DLT stability assessment.
