history exchange

  • 10 nodes all connected to a single echo server (multi-cast)
  • node #11 joins and broadcasts a history exchange request ({ id: myself, uuid: uuid() })
  • nodes 1-10 all try to connect to central relay server on /relay/request.id/request.uuid
  • relay server enforces that only one node can connect to that URL and closes the other 9 connections
  • node #11 connects to central relay server on /relay/request.uuid/request.id
  • central relay server connects node #11 with the random node that won the race.
  • history is exchanged.
