func ByzantineQuorum ¶

func ByzantineQuorum(N int, F int) (Q int)

ByzantineQuorum is a utility to calculated the number of responses from a DON before Byzantine tolerant quorum is achieved. NOTE: Typical usage is when N >= 3f + 1

The formula is floor( (N+F)/2 ) + 1. F should be >= 1. If N = 1, a quorum size of 1 is returned. Double check usage for small N and F if N < 3f + 1.
