AB - Usability of distributed ledgers is crucial to their mainstream adoption, especially for enterprise applications in which most users do not wish to operate full node infrastructure. Some attempts have been made to solve the problem of user-node interaction for blockchains in which leaders assemble users’ transactions into blocks, but in the case of leaderless DAG-based ledgers such as IOTA, many of these solutions cannot be applied due to the absence of a shared mempool and the ability of nodes to issue blocks in parallel. In this work, we propose a user-node interaction mechanism for ledgers of this kind that is designed to balance user traffic across nodes and ensure the risk of a user experiencing a poor quality of service is low. Our mechanism involves users selecting nodes to issue their transactions to the ledger based on quality of service indicators advertised by the nodes. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed policies.
