# Description

Shred packet streams have been redistributed between the networking and compute layers to minimize data-transfer latency. An intermediate buffering layer has been added, providing:

* pre-processing of shred packets before they reach BBM;
* filtering of duplicate data.

Shredstream now interacts directly with BBM, enabling:

* real-time delivery of up-to-date data for block construction;
* bidirectional synchronization of block and slot status;
* receipt of metadata for optimal assembly planning.

The interaction interface is implemented over the **QUIC** and **gRPC** protocols, which helps avoid redundant network calls and improves the reliability of data exchange.
