Networking and Communication Protocols in Zenon Unikernel

As an engineer, I want to establish robust networking and communication protocols within the Zenon unikernel to support the PoW/PoS consensus mechanism and enable efficient and secure networking capabilities, while optimizing resource usage in a unikernel environment.

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] Support for basic network connectivity protocols (TCP/IP, UDP).
• [ ] Implementation of a lightweight PoW/PoS consensus mechanism protocol.
• [ ] Resource usage is optimized to take advantage of unikernel characteristics.
• [ ] Network performance is benchmarked to ensure efficiency.
• [ ] Basic security measures are implemented to protect against common threats (e.g., DDoS, MITM, packet sniffing).
• [ ] Communication protocols support node discovery and data propagation with minimal overhead.
• [ ] The system is capable of handling a specified number of concurrent connections without performance degradation.
