Deliverables
Message Compression
Owner: David Rusu
Feature: FURPS
Further compression of blocks in Blend network through use of partial transaction hashes. For example, instead of providing full transaction hashes, we can give a prefix of the hash together with the block root hash. Prefix collisions can be disambiguated using the block root.
FURPS:
- P4. Blend network manageable on low bandwidth network links
Checklist:
- Compression algorithm designed
- Partial transaction hash mechanism implemented
- Bandwidth reduction measured
