Does that mean that all nodes have to have 1Mbps or just the forging node? What happens if the forging node doesn't have that much bandwidth?
All nodes must have at least so much bandwidth. Forging nodes must have more coz not all transactions r included into blocks.
If nodes don't have enough bandwidth then they'll face "event horizon" effect.
That doesn't sound practical. smartphones won't have that sort of bandwidth. Most wifi wouldn't support that much bandwidth. A lot of ISP's especially in countries without broadband everywhere wouldn't have that much bandwidth.
It sounds like we can't go much past 100TPS, thats 100KB of bandwidth. If a node every falls behind, how will it catch up?
This sounds like a fundamental limitation if the total TPS is limited by the slowest node. Or maybe only a few nodes can keep up with the 1000TPS and there is a way for slower nodes to catch up somehow? If BCNext solved this, it will be total NXT domination.
