Repair data up 5x Egress 3x Ingress from 17th Feb 2022

Not complaining $$$… Is everyone else seeing a large increase in repair data from 17th Feb 2022.

My Repair Egress is up 5x from normal and Repair Ingress is up 3x.
Normal usage is up by about 25%

Yesterday i saw on the dashboard 400+ suspended nodes, almost like there is a weeks delay between increased repair and suspension?

The two things aren’t related. The increase in repair traffic is because the repair threshold has been increased as explained here.

We have done this modeling! In fact, if you’ve seen an increase in repair traffic over the last week, it’s because we bumped our repair thresholds to what a couple different models suggested during this unstable time. Suffice it to say, we are extremely confident the data is safe in a number of modeled geopolitical scenarios. We’re considering writing a more generic blog post about dealing with all sorts of instability and how we handle it, because I assume this is not the only time someone has …

@BrightSilence. I missed that post, thank you. Good to hear when an item hits 56 shares it will be boosted back to 80 shares

@CutieePie My node with internet is good and the logs are generally clear, so roll on $$$

In 2025 now, I’m wondering why repair egress is 30GB but repair ingress is only 3GB.
Where is all the data going?

Where is all the data going?

For ingress the node selection algorithm is applied. So I guess it goes to faster nodes.

I don’t think this has anything to do with node selection, at least, this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that large and long established nodes will by definition have more pieces that can be sourced for repairs.

Therefore ingress and egress bandwidths scale differently: egress repair traffic correlates with node size, but ingress traffic does not; is distributed just like any other traffic in the network. So you’d expect that largest nodes will see way more repair egress than younger ones.
