[Marcin Szamotulski]: Ouroboros-Network - networking for Cardano crypto currency

ABSTRACT

In this talk I will present the design of the networking layer which has been developed for the Ouroboros family of consensus protocols.

I will present some of the main components of the design: a session type framework and multiplexer that the networking team developed (or is developing).

The work has been carried by IOHK networking team with a close co-operation with Well-Typed and Predictable Network Solutions.
