Struct Acceptor

pub struct Acceptor<T> {
    pub id: u64,
    pub proposal_n: u64,
    pub value: Option<Arc<T>>,
    pub messenger: Option<Box<dyn Messenger<T>>>,
}

The Acceptors act as the fault-tolerant “memory” of the protocol. Acceptors are collected into groups called Quorums. Any message sent to an Acceptor must be sent to a Quorum of Acceptors. Any message received from an Acceptor is ignored unless a copy is received from each Acceptor in a Quorum.

Fields

id: u64

Acceptor’s ID

proposal_n: u64

The highest proposal number promised

value: Option<Arc<T>>

The currently promised value

messenger: Option<Box<dyn Messenger<T>>>

Messenger specifying communication with other nodes
