this is the smallest section in the whitepaper but it quietly does a lot of work.
kadcast is the. propagation layer, its how messages actually get from one node to the rest of the network. its built on kademlia, the same structured.
0verlay concept thats been used in peer to peer systems for years, not something dusk invented from scratch.
what it actually does inside dusk is act as the concrete version of the propagate function thats.
shows up everywhere else in the protocol, generators broadcasting candidate blocks, provisioners. broadcasting votes, all of it routes through kadcast underneath,,
its easy to skip past this as boring plumbing but consensus timing asumptions, the delta delay stuff from earlier sections, only hold if propagation actualy behaves the way.
kadcast promises.
anyone know how kadcast performs under real network churn versus the theoretica
l bounds??
