According to the statement of Cardano representatives, thanks to the automated peer-to-peer node selection system, P2P will provide high-quality node communication and significantly simplify the launch of a node or repeater that creates blocks in order to eliminate the need for manual data entry of the stake pool (SPO) and static configurations.
Node functionality v.1.35.6. it will allow you to implement the configuration in two scenarios:
1. Creation of blocks and implementation of the use of incoming and outgoing connections to verify operations in the network, simplify the exchange of information and increase the stability of the network to interruptions.
2. Interaction with network repeaters and transmission of blocks from nodes that produce blocks.
P2P testing by Cardano IOG and Cardano Foundation specialists is planned to take several more weeks. At this stage, this is necessary in order to efficiently integrate the update.
