# Networking
|
|
|
|
This folders hold a collection of modules to:
|
|
- configure the Eth2 P2P network
|
|
- discover, connect, and maintain quality Eth2 peers
|
|
|
|
Data received is handed other to the `../gossip_processing` modules for validation.
|
|
|
|
## Security concerns
|
|
|
|
- Collusion: part of the peer selection must be kept random. This avoids peers bringing all their friends and colluding against a beacon node.
|
|
- Denial-of-service: The beacon node must provide ways to handle burst of data that may come:
|
|
- from malicious nodes trying to DOS us
|
|
- from long periods of non-finality, creating lots of forks, attestations, forks
