PPT-Impossibility of Distributed Consensus with One Faulty Process

By Michael JFischer Nancy A Lynch Michael SPaterson What is Consensus Problem Consensus is the task of getting all processes in a group to agree on some specific value based on the votes of each processes .

Messages can be dropped or take an arbitrarily long time.. To show: no algorithm can guarantee to solve consensus in the face of fail-stop processes and unlimited message delays.. . Distributed. .
