Network Latency Resilience

Definition

A network’s ability to handle delays. Network latency resilience describes a blockchain system’s capacity to maintain operational stability and performance despite delays or inconsistencies in data transmission between its nodes. This characteristic ensures that the network can continue to process transactions and reach consensus even when faced with varying network speeds or temporary disconnections. It is a critical factor for global distributed ledgers operating across diverse geographical locations. Strong resilience helps prevent forks and ensures consistent block finality.
