Byzantine Fault Tolerance
Theoretical limits of consensus in the presence of arbitrary node failures.
📝 Prompt Content
Describe the Byzantine Generals Problem in the context of distributed computing. Define Byzantine faults and how they differ from fail-stop faults. Discuss the theoretical impossibility results (FLP impossibility) regarding consensus in asynchronous systems, or explain the conditions required (e.g., 3m+1 nodes) to achieve consensus with m faulty nodes in synchronous systems.
