This paper investigates the problem \textit{good-case latency} of Byzantine agreement, broadcast and state machine replication in the synchronous authenticated setting. The good-case latency measure captures the time it takes to reach agreement when all non-faulty parties have the same input (or in BB/SMR when the sender/leader is non-faulty). Previous result implies a lower bound showing that any Byzantine agreement or broadcast protocol tolerating more than $n/3$ faults must have a good-cas...
