Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Suppose there are three proposers in a system, and each proposes a different value simultaneously. Discuss how Paxos handles this situation to maintain safety and reach a consensus.
💡 Hint: Consider the roles of proposers and the stepwise process of Paxos.
Explain a situation that might lead to Paxos not reaching consensus even though it has strong safety properties, focusing on external conditions affecting the algorithm.
💡 Hint: Think about the implications of network failures on distributed systems.
