As for the third question: Paxos is useful because it can be used to implement MultiPaxos (among other things). But that's an unhelpful answer unless you know what MultiPaxos does. In this post, we seek to understand MultiPaxos by asking the same three questions of it. To start with, what abstraction does MultiPaxos implement? MultiPaxos implements State Machine Replication.
