Redundancy

« Back to Glossary Index

This term particularly refers to something that is in excess of what is required for the normal operation. In networks, the redundancy is referred to possessing duplicate pathways between the nodes so that in case one link fails, there exists still another path for the network traffic in order to travel through. The redundancy of the blockchains make them extremely fault-tolerant but, it also implies excessive high storage requirements.
