Architecture

Stranola is built so a deployment gets faster as you add machines, instead of slowing down.

Real P2P swarm​

Every machine that receives data redistributes it to the rest. The source sends each block only once; the more machines join, the sooner the whole group finishes.

        ┌─────────┐
        │ source  │  sends each block once
        └────┬────┘
             │
   ┌─────────┼─────────┐
   ▼         ▼         ▼
 ┌────┐   ┌────┐   ┌────┐
 │ PC │◄─►│ PC │◄─►│ PC │   peers exchange blocks with each other
 └────┘   └────┘   └────┘

Hybrid multicast at scale​

On large deployments a single broadcast feeds the whole network. Error correction repairs losses with no retransmissions, and P2P acts as a safety net. It is optional — pure P2P stays the default.

Adaptive tuning​

Stranola measures the network in real time and adjusts its parameters on the fly, with no connection restarts.
