Lamport’s Distributed Mutual Exclusion Solution caters for fault tolerance Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

Answer

The statement "Lamport’s Distributed Mutual Exclusion Solution caters for fault tolerance" is False.

Explanation

Lamport's Distributed Mutual Exclusion algorithm allows for processes in a distributed system to agree on the order of accessing shared resources while preventing simultaneous access. However, it does not inherently provide fault tolerance. In a system where processes may fail or messages may be lost, Lamport's algorithm does not guarantee that all processes will still be able to achieve mutual exclusion in the presence of faults. Thus, while it effectively handles the mutual exclusion problem in a reliable message-passing environment, it does not explicitly address concerns related to failures or message reliability.

In conclusion, Lamport's algorithm is primarily focused on achieving distributed mutual exclusion, but it does not ensure fault tolerance, making the statement false.
