Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a scenario where asynchronous communication leads to a failure in achieving consensus. Illustrate how Paxos could help resolve this.
💡 Hint: Focus on how Paxos manages the proposal process to validate account states.
Question 2
Evaluate the implications of the FLP theorem for systems that require strong reliability in distributed environments. What solutions might mitigate these limitations?
💡 Hint: Consider how combining synchronous assumptions with failure detection can create practical solutions.
