As implemented, there is a timeout for that loader peer based on the amount of time it should take to request all the headers. The time period is defined as a base time plus the number of expected headers times an expected amount of time per header. For example, the timeout would be 25 minutes with a base time of 15 minutes, 1 millisecond per header and an expected 600000 headers. _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
