====Routing attacks==== Since each node plays a role in routing traffic through the network, malicious users can perform a variety of "routing attacks", or [[denial of service]] attacks. Examples of common routing attacks include "incorrect lookup routing" whereby malicious nodes deliberately forward requests incorrectly or return false results, "incorrect routing updates" where malicious nodes corrupt the routing tables of neighboring nodes by sending them false information, and "incorrect routing network partition" where when new nodes are joining they bootstrap via a malicious node, which places the new node in a partition of the network that is populated by other malicious nodes.<ref name="vu-p2p-principles-p8" />
