RTWO Truthful Data Policy — Phase 6

This phase defines the P2P network architecture and state lifecycle only. No fake peers, boot nodes, peer counts, latency values, connection graphs, or sync sessions are displayed. RTWO Mainnet is not deployed. No peers are connected. No nodes are syncing. All operational data will only appear when a real P2P network is connected.

Domain Models

DiscoveredPeer address has been discovered via boot node registry or peer exchange.
ConnectingInitiating TCP/QUIC connection to the discovered peer address.
ConnectedTransport-layer connection established. Awaiting protocol handshake.
HandshakingExchanging protocol version, node identity, and capability negotiation.
SyncedPeer is fully synced and participating in block and message propagation.
DisconnectedConnection was closed gracefully or timed out. Peer may be re-discovered.
BannedPeer has been banned due to malicious behavior or repeated protocol violations.
FailedConnection failed due to unreachable address, handshake error, or protocol mismatch.

Acknowledgedterminal
Failedterminal
Droppedterminal
CreatedMessage has been created by the originating node and assigned a unique message ID.
QueuedMessage is queued in the outbound message buffer awaiting routing.
ValidatingMessage payload hash and signature are being validated before routing.
RoutedMessage has been routed to the target peer or broadcast to the network.
DeliveredMessage has been delivered to the target peer and accepted at the transport layer.
AcknowledgedTarget peer has acknowledged receipt and processing of the message.
FailedMessage delivery failed due to peer disconnection, timeout, or validation error.
DroppedMessage was dropped due to queue overflow, duplicate detection, or banned peer.
