An approach to achieve message efficient early-stopping uniform consensus protocols
Xianbing Wang, Jiannong Cao, Yong Meng Teo · 2004
Existing consensus protocols for synchronous distributed systems concentrate on the lower bound on the number of rounds required for achieving consensus. This paper proposes an approach to reduce the message complexity of some uniform consensus protocols significantly while achieving the same lower bound in which for any t-resilient consensus protocol only t + 1 processes engaging in sending messages in each round.
