It is not uncommon for people to use … Continue reading Random identifiers are poorly compressible

Merkury enables marketers, media owners, and publishers to own, build, and control a first-party Private Identity Graph.

A Merkle-DAG is a DAG where each node has an identifier and this is the result of hashing the node’s contents — any opaque payload carried by the node and the list of identifiers of its children — using a cryptographic hash function like SHA256.

Context Data center networks every so often use compactly interconnected topologies to deliver high bandwidth for internal data exchange. In such network, it is precarious to employ effective load balancing schemes so that all the available bandwidth resources can be utilized. In order to utilize a
