Abstract

The paper deals with achievability of fault tolerant goals in a completely asynchronous distributed system. Fischer, Lynch, and Paterson [FLP] proved that in such a system "nontrivial agreement" cannot be achieved even in the (possible) presence of a single "benign" fault. In contrast, we exhibit two pairs of goals that are achievable even in the presence of up to t
