G04-GN: Yes
Rationale
R5N distributes lookup forwarding and replicated storage among peers. CADET endpoints and local transport services are per-peer, not one obligatory fixed-capacity coordinator. The private underlay introduces no mandatory central service; global reachability and calibrated capacity remain separate questions.
Assessment method
Primary specifications and pinned-code analysis; no execution
Source context
GNUnet v0.20.x R5N discovery and routing
Outstanding qualification
Distribute peers and records across hosts; inventory per-peer and underlay bottlenecks and failure recovery. No scaling benchmark performed.
