How is traffic passed to a seconday node once the orimary is full?

Lets say I have two nodes behind a single /24. There are no other neighbors

Node A fills. (with only the 500mb mandated space left)

How is traffic now handed to the secondary node in this situation? Should the secondary node expect to receive traffic as if it was the only node now on the /24 since the primary node is full? Or does it still only receive half?

As I undestand it from other posts, the satellite is announced that the first node is full and stops sending half of traffic to it, and send all the ingress to the remaining node/nodes in that subnet.

I wonder how often it polls the first node to check the space.

Yep, this must happen continously, maybe at 1 hour interval, I don’t know, because deleted pieces free up some space on the first node and becomes open for new ingress. I wonder if it’s a parameter set in config.yaml, or on the satellite side?

It doesn’t poll the node specifically during selection. It just select any node from the subnet who still advertise a free space (for 95% of ingress).
