\section{Empirical Evaluation}
\label{sec:evaluation}
\subsection{Setup}
1,000-node testnet, pipeline depth $m = 128$, parameters $k = 20$, $\alpha = 0.8$,
$\beta = 11$, round time $\Delta = 50$ms.
\subsection{Results}
\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{@{}lrrr@{}}
\toprule
\textbf{Protocol} & \textbf{TPS} & \textbf{Latency (median)} & \textbf{Messages/tx} \\
\midrule
Sequential Wave & 90/conflict & 550ms & 220 \\
Nova (burst) & 8,500 & 400ms & 2.2 \\
Photon (pipelined) & 10,000 & 500ms & 1.8 \\

\caption{Throughput comparison across consensus protocols}
\label{tab:photon-results}
\end{table}
Photon achieved 10,000 TPS---the transaction arrival rate---with 500ms median per-transaction
latency (same as non-pipelined). The key advantage is that throughput is decoupled from
per-transaction latency: increasing $\beta$ for stronger safety does not reduce throughput.
