Abstract

We investigate the problem of reaching Byzantine Agreement in arbitrary networks where both processors and communication links are subject to omission or stopping faults. For the case of deterministic, synchronous algorithms we give a necessary and sufficient condition relating the solvability of the problem to the connectivity of the network. In particular, we show that an algorithm resilient to at mostt faulty processors andk faulty links subject to omission or stopping faults exist, if and only if the network has a connectivity pair (t′, k′)>(t, k).
