Consensus Protocols workshop

In the consensus problem, each process proposes some initial value, and processes that do not fail must reach an irrevocable decision on exactly one of the proposed values.

The consensus problem captures an essential component of replication in distributed systems: the fact that replicas (processes) need to agree on the next state transition they handle, so that they can remain in identical states.
