Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a distributed system of 5 processes, outline how a leader is elected using the HS algorithm. Include potential message flows.

💡 Hint: Sketch the phases and how messages would propagate based on the IDs given.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss scenarios where the LCR algorithm could fail in terms of process failures. What improvements could be made?

💡 Hint: Consider what happens if messages go undelivered.
