Has anyone been able to connect to significantly more than 350 distinct nodes on Stable?
Ever since muxing and its reduced connection overhead made it into Stable, I've noticed a pattern with my node's connections. It'll peak somewhere in the range of 350 distinct nodes connected, even though there are plenty of connection slots open. Here's my current status, Connections open (Inbound/Outbound/Limit) 417 (379/38/512) Number of distinct nodes connected 333 I still have almost 100 open connection slots, but they're sitting around unused. Prior to muxing, all 512 connection slots would fill up pretty quickly and stay that way, so it's not that the node can't handle 512 connections. With recent builds I'll hit 300 distinct nodes, usually around 400 connections, within an hour or so of starting the node; then it stops growing. The current uptime is 6 hours. At first I thought that maybe it's because my node stays close to 100% load due to output bandwidth limiting, so maybe I'm rejecting any attempted new connections. That theory doesn't seem to hold water, though; I reach and remain at almost 100% load within a couple minutes of starting up the node. If load was the issue, I'd never make it as far as 350 nodes connected, it would logically be far fewer, and random instead of the pattern I've been seeing. Am I correct in guessing that if there were more Stable nodes, or at least more Stable nodes compatible with the current protocol revision, I'd be connected to them? Or is there a limiting factor built into fred? I appreciate that it's not really possible to determine the true number of nodes, but from my node's perspective, it doesn't seem like there are more than ~350 at any point in time. Thanks for any insight! -s _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support
