This plot presents the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of peer departure times from the network over a measurement period of one-week. The plot basically shows the percentage of nodes online at a point in time (t=0) that will have disconnected after 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, .. up to 24 hours after t=0.
t=0
X-Axis (Time in Hours): Represents the elapsed time since the reference point (t=0), measured in hours.
Y-Axis (Percentage of Offline Peers): Indicates the cumulative percentage of peers that have disconnected from the network by the corresponding time interval. Specifically, it shows the proportion of peers that were from projects.common.charts.chart_ids import ChartID online at t=0 and have since gone offline.
This visualization aids in understanding peer churn dynamics, which is crucial for optimizing network stability, resource allocation, and improving overall decentralized network performance.
Note that the sum of the CDF is NOT 100%, as it only includes peers that were online for 24h, or less.
