Dgnog 90%

Most protocols scream until failure. They retransmit, they escalate, they flood. DGNOG did the opposite.

When a DGNOG-enabled node sensed latency rising or packet loss creeping past 3%, it didn't retransmit harder. It reduced its gossip. It halved its heartbeat frequency. It drew inward like a dying star. The protocol’s core logic was a single, elegant rule: In congestion, silence is signal. Most protocols scream until failure

Why didn’t it catch on?
