+**The blockchain is ephemeral and on-memory**. Each node keeps broadcasting it's state until it is reconciled in the blockchain. If the blockchain would get start from scratch, the hosts would re-announce and try to fill the blockchain with their data.

|
|
|

|
|
|
+We might loose packets when the blockchain limit is reached. At that point EdgeVPN to avoid polluting memory will reset the blockchain, and the nodes will start to announce themselves again, there might be a small interval of time whereas node can't be reached. This _could_ happen if your network is having a lot of updates.

EdgeVPN makes VPN decentralization a first strong requirement.
