Outline of activity: * need a stronger reasoned argument for the effects of * initial choice of ledger peer set * the consequence of resampling from that set (either due...

This has become a separate issue - #3956 > Peter had an argument that everybody needs to connect to ledger peers. I think this relies on the assumption that to...

Need to consider: * configuration (where, how global) * handshake * how quickly will a rich topology emerge from a 'cold' start (bounding worst case) * when (in a node's...

We have concluded that we only need to request from `Established Peers` reducing network traffic and transient load.

Such nodes would: a) never be the first to supply a new header; b) never be first to be asked to get a block - so never first to supply...

I don't see the need for this, it also has disadvantages. If blocks are empty the whole chain is basically just ticking over (no txs) - so the saved resources...

I disagree - this creates a testing and validation overhead that will persist for all time. TCO for this change doesn't make sense

To motivate this work a little more: This would be a (standalone) implementation of the "delivered network quality attenuation" (the ∆Q) measurement process from the per-peer network measurement in `ouroboros-network`....

Reduce to low priority as this situation is being exercised as part of many other test cases.

This is a shared responsibility between deployment and the code base. Deployments (for stakepools) would need to have fire-walling that would address part of this issue. A taxonomy of potential...
