 ## Peer sampling
 
-At each slot, a node makes (locally randomly determined) `SAMPLES_PER_SLOT` queries for samples from their peers via `DataColumnSidecarsByRoot` request. A node utilizes `get_custody_columns` helper to determine which peer(s) to request from. If a node has enough good/honest peers across all rows and columns, this has a high chance of success.
+A node SHOULD maintain a diverse set of peers for each column and each slot by verifying responsiveness to sample queries.

A node utilizes `get_custody_columns` helper to determine which peer(s) to request from. If a node has enough good/honest peers across all rows and columns, this has a high chance of success.
