## Business Network reference implementation
An additional "IOU" panel is now visible in the main Explorer dashboard to demonstrate the new Business Networks concept using a sample IOU product.
Business Networks are introduced in order to segregate Corda Nodes that do not need to transact with each other or indeed even know of each others existence.
Whenever an IOU transaction is entered, membership checks are performed to ensure that participants are included in the same
Business Network.
Upon startup both "Alice" and "Bob" are configured to be part of the same Business Network and therefore can transact with each other.
The transactions panel been also extended to be able to display details of the IOU transactions.
Use the following Business Network configuration file to define what participants are included within its membership:
`samples\business-network-demo\build\resources\main\net\corda\sample\businessnetwork\membership\internal\AliceBobMembershipList.csv`
could be modified (no restart necessary) and then IOU transaction will no longer be possible between "Alice" and "Bob".
Please note Business Networks functionality only applies to the same IOU CorDapp, Cash payments CorDapp will allow transactions between
"Alice" and "Bob" at all times.
## TODOs:
- Shows more useful information in the dashboard.
- Improve Network View, display other nodes in the world map and show transactions between them.
