The `timely` predicate is evaluated when a process receives a proposal. |
|
|
|
More precisely, let `p` be a correct process: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `receiveTime_p[r]` is the time `p` reads from its local clock when it |
|
|
|
`p` is at round `r` and receives the proposal of round `r`. |
|
|
|
- `receiveTime_p[r]` is the time `p` reads from its local clock when `p` is at |
|
|
|
round `r` and receives the proposal of round `r`. |

A correct process at round `v.round` only sends a `PREVOTE` for `v` if the |
|
|
|
associated proposal time `v.time` is considered `timely`. |
