O(1) Block Propagation

The problem

Bitcoin miners want their newly-found blocks to propagate across the network as quickly as possible, because every millisecond of delay increases the chances that another block, found at about the same time, wins the "block race."

# As the "bufferbloat" folks have recently re-discovered and/or more widely
# publicized, congestion avoidance algorithms (such as those found in TCP) do
# a great job of allowing network endpoints to negotiate transfer rates that
# maximize a link's bandwidth usage without unduly penalizing any particular
# stream. This allows bulk transfer streams to use the maximum available
# bandwidth without affecting the latency of non-bulk (e.g. interactive)
# streams.
