Capacity of Byzantine Agreement ( Preliminary Draft – Work in Progress )

Caveat: This report represents work-in-progress, and provides some of our early results on the topic. A more complete version of this report, with additional results not presented in this draft, and improved description of the algorithms and analysis, will be released later this year. This draft version contains known problems with clarity/readability and the descriptions are incomplete/imprecise in some places. The draft is being released nevertheless to seek early feedback from other researchers.
