Nnet is also integrated into nkn v0.5 release. With the new network layer, NKN now has the near-complete network functionalities with extremely high tolerance to network failures tested in one of the largest open p2p networks ahead of the original schedule. Some highlighted new features are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We worked closely with <strong>Cryptic Labs<\/strong> and developed a <strong>novel broadcasting algorithm<\/strong> that can achieve optimal throughput and near-optimal latency. This improvement is a necessary step in achieving high TPS for public Internet usage and will boost TPS by an order of magnitude in typical network conditions.<\/li>\n<li>We have made tremendous research and engineering improvements to the original Chord DHT protocol and has proven to be <strong>one of the world\u2019s most robust DHT protocols<\/strong>. In our tests with thousands of nodes running worldwide, a sudden loss of 90%+ of nodes will not present a network failure. In comparison, the original Chord protocol could not tolerate a failure of O(N) level nodes.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Extremely high relay success rate<\/strong>: the client-to-client packet loss rate within the public testnet with ~6k unstable community nodes is less than 0.5% in a single path. Combined with our multi-path protocol we can achieve (essentially) zero packet loss rate.<\/li>\n<li>Support NAT traversal.<\/li>\n<li>Support mixed transport protocol with both TCP and UDP.<\/li>\n<li>Native implementation for name service, multicasting, packet buffering for offline client. These features have been used and tested in the multiplayer game Spacecats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>1B) Proof of\u00a0Relay<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Proof of Relay<\/strong> using <strong>signature chain<\/strong> has been <strong>fully implemented and tested<\/strong> in the public network for <strong>several months without any issues<\/strong>. The Signature chain has been shown to be an efficient way to prove the relay work done by nodes and a secure way to randomly select nodes based on the work done by nodes.<\/p>\n<h3>1C) MOCA Consensus<\/h3>\n<p><strong>MOCA<\/strong>, or Majority vOte Cellular Automata, consensus algorithm has been <strong>fully implemented and tested<\/strong> in our public testnet at scale. NKN\u2019s testnet with MOCA implementation is one of the world\u2019s largest open p2p networks with nearly 6k nodes today (3x BCH nodes already!), Of these nodes, more than 5k+ were provided by the community. At this scale, the whole network is able to reach consensus for every block in just a few seconds, and every block is finalized in 20s (technically it could be much faster).<\/p>\n<p>MOCA consensus is shown to be <strong>extremely scalable and efficient<\/strong>, each node in the testnet only consumes ~ 2% CPU, &lt; 200M RAM and &lt; 50KB\/s data transmission overhead on a personal laptop even when network size is around 6k nodes! As far as we known, it is the most scalable and efficient consensus algorithm available and our testnet already has the <strong>largest scale among all non-PoW blockchain<\/strong> testnets or mainnets.<\/p>\n<h3>Significant stability and scalability improvement on core software and public\u00a0testnet<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<strong>Scalability<\/strong>: up to 5,878 full nodes (participate in mining &amp; consensus) reaching consensus within 1\u20132 seconds. Most of them are run by community members all over the world. The current total node count is regularly above 2,000: <a href=\"http:\/\/testnet.nkn.org\/network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/testnet.nkn.org<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Stability<\/strong>: nodes are running almost perfectly without the need to be restarted due to any critical error since we launched V0.5 Koala (October 31st to now).<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Global coverage and node diversity<\/strong>: we have a global footprint covering nearly 30 countries or regions, where community miners run nodes on all kinds of hardware and software platforms and network connectivity. From AWS, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean to home computer (Windows, Mac OS, Linux), to Raspberry Pi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-width=\"1400\" data-height=\"806\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/0*VAbslCg_mnwqzNOw\"><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p>From above screenshot we can see the total node count reached 5,878 in early November and the geographical distribution of NKN full nodes globally on our public testnet.
