A good internet connection. High bandwidth, no data caps:

Vault routing burden

The amount of hops a chunk takes to reach the recipient is O(log(n)) in a worst case scenario. For example, in a network with 1 million nodes that means about 20 hops. Popular chunks get cached, reducing their hop count, so to take this into account and for the sake of simplicity, let’s say we have a SAFE network with an average chunk hop count of 10. This means that for every GET of a (1 MB) chunk a vault serves, 10 MB of both up- and download bandwidth is used for routing (by all intermediary…
