You are right that Raft and Paxos provide for distributed consensus. However, they don't do so in an open, byzantine environment where some fraction of the nodes in the network may not be honest. edit: there are byzantine variants of paxos --- i'm not 100% familiar with these (and tbh i'm take it or leave it on the whole thing), just wanted to note that i think the parent was trying to get at something slightly different than consensus in an environment with nodes that fail, i.e. "traditional" consensus algorithms |
