PPT-Consensus Impossibility

Dennis Shasha following Lynch Fischer Patterson Failure Model Processes can failstop but that is all no fail traitorous Communication is twoway Messages can be dropped or take an arbitrarily long time.

What does it mean to have consensus?. Consensus = consistency. Assumptions. Processes can choose values. Run at arbitrary speeds. Failure Model. Processes can fail-stop (but that is all; no fail traitorous).. Communication is two-way.. 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.. Nir. . Bitansky. and Omer . Paneth. Program Obfuscation. Compute .  .  .  .
