Ordering Service
The ordering service packages transactions into blocks to be delivered to
peers. Communication with the service is via channels.
Fabric v1.4.1 has the following options for the ordering service:
–Raft (recommended)
• Crash fault tolerant (minimum of 5 nodes to tolerate 2 faults)
• No additional dependencies required
• Not Byzantine Fault Tolerant (yet)
• Works more efficiently than Kafka over geographically diverse networks
–Solo
• Single node for development
–Kafka
• Crash fault tolerant
• Requires Kafka and Zookeeper
