How to perform Cardano Fragmentation Testing?

To perform Cardano Fragmentation Testing:

1. Set up multiple Cardano nodes on different machines or cloud instances.
2. Configure these nodes to connect to the Cardano testnet.
3. Use network partitioning tools to create artificial network splits between node groups.
4. Monitor how the network behaves during and after the fragmentation.
5. Test various scenarios, such as majority-minority splits or multiple small partitions.
6. Observe how consensus is maintained or regained when network connectivity is restored.
7. Use Cardano's monitoring tools to gather data on block propagation, fork occurrence, and recovery time.
8. Document your findings and share them with the Cardano development community.

This testing helps improve Cardano's resilience to network disruptions.
