Abstract

In this chapter, we show a modular, layered way to implement replication. This will lead us to introduce notions such as group communication primitives (atomic broadcast, generic broadcast), the consensus problem, failure detectors, and the round based model, and will allow us to better understand the challenges that underly the implementation of replication techniques. The chapter considers only benign faults.
