The '''Chandra–Toueg consensus algorithm''', published by Tushar Deepak Chandra and Sam Toueg in 1996, is an algorithm for solving [[Consensus (computer science)|consensus]] in a network of unreliable processes equipped with an ''eventually strong'' [[failure detector]]. The failure detector is an abstract version of [[Timeout (computing)|timeouts]]; it signals to each process when other processes may have crashed. An eventually strong failure detector is one that never identifies ''some'' specific non-faulty process as having failed after some initial period of confusion, and, at the same time, eventually identifies ''all'' faulty processes as failed (where a faulty process is a process which eventually fails or crashes and a non-faulty process never fails). The Chandra–Toueg consensus algorithm assumes that the number of faulty processes, denoted by {{var|f}}, is less than n/2 (i.e. the minority), i.e. it assumes {{var|f}} < {{var|n}}/2, where n is the total number of processes.
