Network Protocol

Samizdat uses a "store-and-forward" epidemic routing protocol. Messages are infectious agents. When two nodes (Throwie-Mule or Mule-Mule) meet, they exchange "Bloom Filters"—compact probabilistic data structures representing their known message sets.

If Node A has a message Node B lacks, it is transmitted. This ensures rapid diffusion throughout the physical area without requiring a central directory.
