What is the necessary amount of up and down bandwidth per node so that the node can run freely and not be throttle? I have around 45 Mbits down and 10 Mbits up, how many nodes should i be running with these speeds?
On 35Mbps up I have 700 nodes pushing the limit at times.
But I fear once people start downloading or large churn events happen then it will max out very quickly. I have a smoothing queue of 250,000 UDP packet buffer that allows it to recover if its not too bad. This queue means my uplink never get saturated with chunk uploads.
But for these tests then 10Mbps up will give you approx 200 to 250 nodes, BUT your internet will glitch out when ever a chunk is being uploaded to another node or user. Even a few nodes will have this happen as 1 full chunk will use up (4MBx8bits/10Mbps) 3.2 seconds worth of your upload. Until the QUIC window size is brought down to something like 250KB the chunk will basically freeze your internet

Does the team have a plan to adopt the lower QUIC window size? I hope they agree with the proposal.
Yes they are working on it. I have updated the topic explaining this situation. There are though varying opinions on the matter and they are in the information gathering phase
We will have to see what results.
