- + Compression (1E):

-
572
- + Broadcast (1A):
573

574
-
575

580

581
-
582
- ### Network Bandwidth Usage
583
-
584
- ```
585
- Current: 20 nodes × 200KB = 4000KB total
586
-
587
- Broadcast: 1 × 200KB = 200KB total
588
- (20x reduction!)
589
-
590
- Compressed: 20 × 100KB = 2000KB
591
- (or 1 × 100KB = 100KB if broadcast)
592
-
593
- Peer-to-Peer: ~400KB total
594
- (viral propagation, shared load)
