Conflict Handling

Conflict Handling

In mesh networking, where multiple devices share and sync data, conflict handling is crucial for data consistency. Here are some best practices:

  1. Version Control with Metadata: Each peer maintains a metadata database, storing version vectors to track updates and avoid conflicts during data merging.
  2. Deterministic Merging: Ensure eventual consistency by adopting deterministic methods. Regardless of update order, all peers should converge on a single value.
  3. Meaningful Resolution: Conflicting data should be merged predictably, representing the original inputs in a logical way.
