Comparing Oracle MySQL Group Replication and Galera Cluster through a probability perpective seems quite interesting.
At commit time both use a group certification process that requires network round trips. The required time for these network roundtrips is what will mainly determined the cost of a transaction. Let us try to compute an estimate of the certification process cost. The duration of these network roundtrips duration can be model by random variable with an associated probability distribution law.
