Most of this is conjecture, but this is what I believe is causing the
problems:
1) the Heisenbug
There's a lot of restarts in the network; nodes aren't routing
nicely, and this part of the problem I blame on the heisenbug: a
problem somewhere between the JVM and the code that causes nodes to
pervert unique IDS changing 123456789a to 1234512345.
2) busy nodes
The connection limit on my node is reached very often. I'm pretty
sure this is a combination of long keepalives (many connections to
the same node which isn't the one you want to talk to) and low
connection limits.
3) some sort of actual connection problem
Nodes shouldn't have any problems authenticating to each other, but
I see way too many connection problems for it to be just network
issues. I have to suspect some heisenbug in the authentication
(possibly related to the real heisenbug due to a defect in
encryption/decryption code)
4) Not enough nodes
There's references in my RT that have CPs < 1E-32; I've had CPs low
enough that rounding made them = 0.0; there's just not enough nodes
out there to eliminate these bad references. The problem there's
not enough nodes is most likely related to #2 and #3 in terms of not
being able to announce/get on the network in the first place.
Again, these are just my personal theories based only on watching logs
scroll by.
