Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Impossibility of Distributed Consensus with One Faulty Process |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | No deterministic protocol does all three. Any protocol that is always safe has an execution that never decides. |
| Who may write | Michael J. Fischer, Nancy A. Lynch and Michael S. Paterson |
| What is settled | The result is about deterministic asynchronous consensus. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Quoting FLP against a partially synchronous protocol is a category error. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
