Reduce upload traffic |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A major part of the outbound traffic is caused by serving historic blocks to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other nodes in initial block download state. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to reduce the total upload traffic via the `-maxuploadtarget` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parameter. This is *not* a hard limit but a threshold to minimize the outbound |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
traffic. When the limit is about to be reached, the uploaded data is cut by not |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
serving historic blocks (blocks older than one week). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moreover, any SPV peer is disconnected when they request a filtered block. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This option can be specified in MiB per day and is turned off by default |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(`-maxuploadtarget=0`). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The recommended minimum is 144 * MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (currently 144MB) per day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
