Message exchange with other nodes (Gossip) Tendermint (as many classic BFT algorithms) have an all-to-all communication pattern (e.g., every validator sends a `precommit` to every other validator). Naive implementations, e.g., maintaining a channel between each of the *N* validators is not scaling to the system sizes of typical Cosmos blockchains (e.g., N = 200 validator nodes + seed nodes + sentry nodes + other full nodes). There is the fundamental necessity to restrict the communication. @@ -30,6 +31,7 @@ The p2p layer, specified here, manages the connections.
