When the Network Shuts You Out: Measuring Resilience in Permissionless Networks
Manu Sheel Gupta, Johanna Moran

What happens when censorship, Internet shutdowns, or infrastructure failures isolate parts of a permissionless network? Using real libp2p deployments including Zemzeme and Qaul, this talk shows how observability, regional nodes, DNS-based discovery, and rapid infrastructure recovery can keep P2P networks connected, and how to measure resilience in practice.
