Distributed networking describes a system where numerous independent nodes collaborate to maintain and operate a network without reliance on a central server. This architecture enhances resilience, censorship resistance, and data integrity by dispersing control and data storage. Each participant contributes to the network’s overall function and security. This decentralized structure is a foundational element of blockchain technology.
Context
News frequently discusses distributed networking in the context of blockchain security, uptime, and resistance to single points of failure. The geographic distribution and number of active nodes are critical metrics often reported. Advancements in distributed networking protocols are essential for scaling and maintaining the robust operation of decentralized applications. The strength of these networks directly affects their reliability and trustlessness.
