How does Kaspa's gossip protocol account for geographic network differences?

Kaspa's gossip protocol is designed to work with the natural geographic clustering of the internet rather than pretending all nodes are equally close. A gossip protocol is the mechanism by which nodes pass new block information to one another — like neighbors passing news down the street. Instead of treating every peer the same, Kaspa's protocol recognizes that nodes in the same region (North America, Europe, or Asia) share faster connections, and routes information accordingly. For a beginner, this matters because it means Kaspa is built to stay coordinated across a globally distributed network, making efficient use of the real internet rather than assuming ideal conditions.
