Bi-Dir: 1
Duplex: 1

Topology between Relays and Blockproducers in a High Availability Scenario

Most of the stake blockchain networks are designed to work with one BP due to the complexity that represents having multiple potential duplicated blocks at the same time being transmitted to the network. I’m not 100% on what happens in Cardano when a duplicate block is sent using a cloned BP, but I assume that one block will go and the other might create a fork and be rejected at a l…
