Abstract

We prove tight upper and lower bounds of Θ(t/√n log n) on the expected number of rounds needed for randomized synchronous consensus protocols for a fail-stop, full information, dynamic adversary. In particular this proves that some restrictions are needed on the power of the adversary to allow randomized constant expected number of rounds protocols.
