Hey everyone, First off, let me start by saying this isn’t a complaint—more of a curious observation I’ve noticed over the past couple of months. I’ve been monitoring my nodes, and I’ve noticed something a bit quirky: on average, my repair egress is actually higher than my download usage! …

or gracefull exit on targeted satellite…

Yes, GE on SLC by several SNOs is definitely a plausible explanation! I’m going to mark this as the solution. Thanks to everyone for their input!

Egress from a node is download, ingress into a node is upload. All wording from the customers’ point of view, so the title a little bit confusing, because both words “egress” and “downloads” means the same in the Storj network :slight_smile:, so I guess you mean either egress vs ingress or download…

Thanks for your reply Alexey. I’m talking only about egress here. I’m comparing the amount of repair egress against the customer usage egress. Would the topic title be better understandable if I changed the word download to customer usage?

No, not needed, as I said it was a little bit confusing to me. It could be nice to have them aligned, but not required. You just need to read not only the title, but also the message :slight_smile: Otherwise the title is exactly described your observation.

Graceful exit on targeted satellite sound plausible, but I’m not sure, that a very delicate action - giving how some are not even aware how much they should have been paid, and for traffic to contest with real traffic, that need to be at scale too. We could do voting to see anyone have already done…

Some Operators have had an issue with a high load from the customers of the Saltlake satellite, so they decided to exit from it. The only problem here, that these customers with the similar pattern would use a production satellites. So, not a solution.

Here is number of nodes on Saltlake from the last 6 months Grafana

[image] Alexey: Some Operators have had an issue with a high load from the customers of the Saltlake satellite, so they decided to exit from it. Unpaid data from Saltlake (now fixed) was compromising the input of real customer data because the node was full. Maybe someone gave up waiting for …

Thanks for sharing the graph, @kocoten1992 ! From what I can see, it shows an overall increase in nodes for SLC, while the number of exited nodes stayed the same. However, there’s also been an uptick in disqualified nodes. So maybe the repair traffic isn’t so much due to graceful exits, but rather …

[image] edo: but rather nodes getting disqualified because they couldn’t handle the test data load? :thinking: The disqualification is usually happen because of lost or corrupted data or being offline for too long (blocking access from the satellite could have a similar effect). The disqualif…
