Abstract
A method for processing a consensus request in a computer network comprises: determining a pending request set, the pending request set including one or more pending consensus requests; determining a number of subsets that are in a consensus stage, wherein the subsets comprise the pending consensus requests that are obtained from the pending request set; and when the number of subsets that are in the consensus stage is less than a preset concurrent number of the computer network, issuing a consensus proposal for a new subset to the computer network to cause the new subset to enter the consensus stage to process the pending consensus requests, wherein the preset concurrent number is an upper limit of the number of subsets that are permitted to be simultaneously in the consensus stage in the computer network.
