my unvetted nodes got 2.7GB ingress yesterday (both combined since same subnet). My vetted node got 12GB. So currently that’s 22.5% of the ingress of a vetted node. So it’s still a long way from a vetted node actually only receiving 5% of a vetted node. So this system is actually faster for unvetted nodes.

However, it also depends on generall infress:

> It depends on the number of nodes being vetted on that satellite. For example if a satellite has 5000 nodes (/24 ipv4 subnets), a single node would get 95%/5000=0.019% of all traffic. If that satellite has only 100 unvetted nodes, a single unvetted node would get 5%/100=0.05% of all traffic. So in this example the unvetted nodes would even get more ingress traffic than a regular node. The speed difference between vetting on different satellites is also explained by the difference in ingress amo…

I have 2 unvetted nodes on the same subnet so vetting will take them longer. They are both 1 month old now and vetting is done 11% (europe-north) up to 54% (on saltlake).
