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 | Consensus in the Presence of Partial Synchrony |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Safety can hold with no timing assumption. Liveness can wait for a period, after some unknown instant, when messages arrive within a bound. |
| Who may write | Cynthia Dwork, Nancy Lynch and Larry Stockmeyer |
| What is settled | The GST, the global stabilisation time, is unknown to the protocol. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Partial synchrony is a model, not a product. |
| 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 |
