HOWEVER it seems to be managing this mostly - the stats suggest we typically route to our second choice, which is a lot better than it used to be.
Ed claims that his node is accepting about 10% of requests, if true, and his node is typical, then it is unlikely that most nodes get to route to their second preference.
Do you think we need more NIO work on trailers etc? It would seem that nodes accept a bunch of trailers and then overload for a while on threads - so effectively we DO have a bandwidth based QR, it's just a delayed effect. This may be bad for routing...
I find it hard to believe that the problem could be due to a lack of NIO, given that this problem did not occur back when we had no NIO whatsoever. This isn't to say that NIO doesn't help, I just feel that it is unlikely to be the crux of the problem.
