1. A system for decentralized network management, comprising:
a client device; and
a network having at least a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of nodes configured to receive credentials from the client device and determine whether to authenticate the client device based on the received credentials, wherein at least one node of the network is configured to determine a value indicative of a total number of the plurality of nodes that have authenticated the client device, wherein the at least one node of the network is configured to compare the value to a threshold and to authenticate the client device for a network session with the network based on a comparison of the value to the threshold, and wherein the at least one node is configured to enable, in response to authentication of the client device for the network session, communication between the client device and at least one resource of the network during the network session, wherein at least one node of the network is configured to dynamically adjust the threshold based on a number of nodes of the network currently accessible for authenticating client devices, a time of day, or a parameter indicative of a current performance of the network, wherein at least one node of the network is configured to transmit to the client device a list of nodes permitted to authenticate the client device, and wherein the client device is configured to transmit the credentials to the plurality of nodes based on the list.
