Randomized Communication

Definition

Randomized Communication is a strategy in distributed systems where nodes select their communication partners or the timing of their messages in a non-deterministic, often pseudo-random, manner. This approach can help prevent network congestion, mitigate targeted attacks, and improve the fairness of information dissemination. It introduces an element of unpredictability into the network’s communication patterns. This method enhances resilience against certain forms of network manipulation.
