-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi y'all, its tuesday again * Index 1) Congestion 2) Streaming 3) BT 4) ??? * 1) Congestion I know, I'm breaking the habit of naming point 1 "Net status", but this week "congestion" seems appropriate. The network itself has been doing pretty well, but as the bittorrent usage increased, things started getting more and more clogged up, leading to an essential congestion collapse [1]. This was expected, and only reinforces our plan - get the new streaming lib out there, and revamp our tunnel management so we have sufficient data about peers to use when our fast peers fail. There were some other factors in play in the recent network problems, but the bulk can be traced to the congestion increase and resulting tunnel failures (which in turn caused all sorts of wild peer selection). [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congestion_collapse * 2) Streaming There has been a lot of progress with the streaming lib, and I've got a squid proxy rigged up to it through the live net that I've been using it frequently for my normal web browsing. With mule's help, we've been hammering the streams pretty hard too by piping frost and FUQID through the network (my god, I never realized how abusive frost was before doing this!) A few significant longstanding bugs have been tracked down this way, and some tweaks to help control massive numbers of connections have been added. Bulk streams are working great too, with both slow start and congestion avoidance, and the quick send/reply connections (ala HTTP get+response) are doing exactly what they should. I expect we'll draft some volunteers to try deploying it further over the next few days, and hopefully get us to the 0.4.2 level soon. I don't want to say it'll be so good that it does your dishes, and I'm sure there'll be bugs that slip through, but it does look promising. * 3) BT Barring the recent network troubles, the i2p-bt port has been making leaps and bounds. I know a few people have pulled down over a GB of data through it, and performance has been as expected (due to the old streaming lib, ~4KBps per peer in the swarm). I try to listen in on the work being discussed in the #i2p-bt channel - perhaps duck could give us a summary in the meeting? * 4) ??? Thazzit from me for now. See y'all in the meeting in a few minutes. =jr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 iQA/AwUBQZpoZBpxS9rYd+OGEQJ7hQCgm635Z/qWpcfDiKQE2JO2Q3eAR/UAn2yQ ZEawa8wEMLl1tz/uk4BTENkb =ZS5w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ i2p mailing list i2p@i2p.net http://i2p.dnsalias.net/mailman/listinfo/i2p ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE http://moleculardevices.org http://nanomachines.net [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
