    Gossipsub Topology Analysis:  2023-07-01, 2023-10-15

• status: 60%
• CC: Ganesh

Description

Analysis of the topology of a gossipsub topic mesh.

Comprises:

• research log post
• shadow integration
• Logos research call talk; also get input during the discussion regarding which areas we should go deeper into, and what would help Logos projects the most.

Info

Extended deadline because:

• added research log post to the milestone goals + more analysis goals (e.g stability/dynamics)
• added analysing simple gossipsub node (in addition to Waku relay)
  • Relevant data has to be collected on the gossipsub-layer which increased the complexity of this milestone
• shadow integration
• more focus on nomos simulation analysis + extended analysis

Note: This analysis module will be usable outside of Wakurtosis, too. This is the reason we continue on this milestone, even though Wakurtosis is deprecated now.
