# 06 — Networked distributed GGUF route

Status: pending

Depends on: 01, 03, 04, 05

## Goal

Run a GGUF-backed model over a real multi-node route using the tracker-selected route and per-shard local KV.

## Scope

- Extend node backend registry with GGUF layer ranges.
- Add route selection for GGUF nodes.
- Use the prefill/decode protocol.
- Track route health and queue depth.
- Bill by layer work and token work.

## Acceptance

- Two physical machines can serve one model route.
- Node dropout during alpha fails request cleanly.
- Tracker metrics show prefill TPS, decode TPS, seam latency, and cache memory.
