Byzantine fork attack fails with fast hotstuff

[birjusuketupatel]

I am running an experiment with 4 replicas on my local machine. When I attempt to run the byzantine fork module and the fasthotstuff consensus module, I run into a few issues.

When running with a fixed leader, the program returns an RPC error. Below is a screenshot of this scenario.

When running with a rotating leader, the experiment runs to completion, only a small number of commands are actually executed and the vast majority time out.

I have also encountered a similar issue when using silence module, where only a single digit number of transactions are completed, and the vast majority are left to time out. I am not sure if I am incorrectly using this feature or if it is an underlying issue. Any clarity would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Birju
