Konnektor: Connection Protocol for Ensuring Peer Uniqueness in Decentralized P2P Networks

Konnektor is a connection protocol designed to solve the challenge of managing unique peers within distributed peer-to-peer networks. By prioritizing network integrity and efficiency, Konnektor offers a comprehensive solution that safeguards against the spread of duplicate peers while optimizing resource utilization. This paper provides a detailed explanation of the protocol’s key components, including peer addressing, connection initialization, detecting peer duplications and mitigation strategies against potential security threats.
