The failure detectors discussed in the literature are either impossible to implement in an asynchronous system, or their exact guarantees have not been discussed. We introduce an infinitely often accurate failure detector which can be implemented in an asynchronous system. We provide one such implementation and show its application to the fault-tolerant server maintenance problem. We also show that some natural timeout based failure detectors implemented on Unix are not sufficient to guarantee infinitely often accuracy.
