Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus and distributed coordination. Queen-led hierarchical swarm management with multiple consensus strategies. Use when: distributed coordination, fault-tolerant operations, multi-agent consensus, collective decision making. Skip when: single-agent tasks, simple operations, local-only work.
Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus and distributed swarm coordination.
| Topology | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
hierarchical | Queen controls workers | Default, anti-drift |
mesh | Fully connected peers | Research, exploration |
hierarchical-mesh | Hybrid | Recommended for complex |
adaptive | Dynamic based on load |
| Auto-scaling |
| Strategy | Tolerance | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
byzantine | f < n/3 faulty | Untrusted environment |
raft | f < n/2 faulty | Leader-based, consistent |
gossip | Eventual | Large scale, availability |
crdt | Conflict-free | Concurrent updates |
quorum | Configurable | Tunable consistency |
