I have this node, which for some reason has unusually low ingress on EU1 satellite - about 1GB of data a day, lower than from AP1.
The node doesn’t seem to be disqualified on any of the satellites, from US1 there are days it gets ~100GB of data daily ingress.
It is on dedicated disk, no VPN, plenty of RAM, suspension, audit and online scores are all 100%.
Is there a way to check from the satellite side what might be the issue?
The node ID is 17pbykNEhnYK34MejWTjmnBySDQK2hJHWHWWvr1TKKdrZYEH9P.
Thank you!
Edit: Also to add, it is 12 months old and apparently vetted on all the sats already.
And one more edit: In the last three months the satellite reported usage increased by 870 GBs on US1, but only 9 GBs of data on EU1 sat.
If all your scores are 100%, it sounds like things are working properly. You can’t really tell customers using the EU satellite to start uploading more data… so more gets to you
We used to be able to run a script that parsed logs for success rates… to see things like if you’re winning an unusually low number of EU uploads. However… now that satellites are also using node performance as part of how they decide if they should tell a customer to use your node (or not)… I don’t know if a high success rate means anything anymore.
Like maybe the old ways would show you’re only winning 50% of EU uploads… but the new way could say you’re winning 100% (because the satellite throttled what was being sent, if it thought your node was overloaded). I don’t think we have any idea if a satellite thinks our node is fast or slow.
The best we may be able to do is aim for 100% online+audit… and wait.
I’m comparing this to a node that is 33 months old and that gets about 25 times more EU ingress. They are pretty much the same hardware, even the same ISP, just about 100 km apart location wise.
It looks to me like the sat thinks that the node that gets almost no EU ingress is not vetted on EU sat.
Regarding the usage, sure the regulations and the whole situation in Europe is pretty grim at the moment, on a path of significant economic decline I guess, and usage shows it, but I guess there are still users like me, that are using it for personal backups for example, where we do not care about regulations.
Please, relax. The node selection almost random. If your node is updated to the latest version, you do not used the edge cases, it should be used as well.
