Query: Bipartisan Paxos: A Modular State Machine Replication Protocol   There is no shortage of state machine replication protocols. From Generalized
Paxos to EPaxos, a huge number of replication protocols have been proposed that
achieve high throughput and low latency. However, these protocols all have two
problems. First, they do not scale. Many protocols actually slow down when you
scale them, instead of speeding up. For example, increasing the number of
MultiPaxos acceptors increases quorum sizes and slows down the protocol.
Second, they are too complicated. This is not a secret; state machine
replication is notoriously difficult to understand.
  In this paper, we tackle both problems with a single solution: modularity. We
present Bipartisan Paxos (BPaxos), a modular state machine replication
protocol. Modularity yields high throughput via scaling. We note that while
many replication protocol components do not scale, some do. By modularizing
BPaxos, we are able to disentangle the two and scale the bottleneck components
to increase the protocol's throughput. Modularity also yields simplicity.
BPaxos is divided into a number of independent modules that can be understood
and proven correct in isolation.
