P2P communication, or peer-to-peer communication, is a decentralized method where individual nodes in a network directly exchange information and data with each other. This model eliminates the need for a central server or intermediary, enabling direct interaction among participants. It forms the backbone of many distributed ledger technologies.
Context
P2P communication is a foundational element often discussed in news concerning the architecture and decentralization of blockchain networks. Its robustness against censorship and single points of failure is a key advantage. Ongoing research aims to optimize P2P networking for improved scalability and efficiency in large-scale decentralized systems.
PANDAS uses direct communication and a two-phase seeding/consolidation model to meet the 4-second DAS deadline, ensuring data availability despite malicious nodes.
