High-latency links refer to communication channels characterized by significant delays in data transmission between two points. These connections experience extended time lags for data packets to travel from source to destination. Such links can considerably affect the speed and responsiveness of networked applications, particularly in distributed systems. This delay impacts real-time data synchronization.
Context
In blockchain discussions, high-latency links are often a concern for global network synchronization and transaction propagation, especially across geographically dispersed nodes. News may report on their impact on consensus mechanisms or the efficiency of cross-chain operations. Mitigating latency effects is crucial for maintaining network performance and fairness. Projects frequently seek methods to reduce these delays for improved user experience.
This research introduces Proof-of-Transit Timestamping, a cryptographic primitive for verifiable data trails, ensuring Bitcoin's reliability across high-latency space communication.
