Abstract
A general method is described for implementing a distributed system with any desired degree of faulttolerance.Instead of relying upon explicit timeouts, processes execute a simple clock-driven algorithm.Reliable clock synchronization and a solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem are assumed.
