Good news:
I now have the confirmation that our testing effort is going to pay off. Over the weekend we already had a few thousand uploads. It is currently less than 1% of the estimated load and therefore not noticable between all the other activities on US1. At 10% we might be able to spot it in our dashboards (satellite & storagenode side) and at 20% it should get visible. The plan is to get to 20% as soon as possible and keep that running for a day. It will give us time to verify if our estimations are correct. There is a chance that our estimation is off in some parts but thanks to all of you adding more capacity to the network we have a good safety buffer and don’t need to worry too much about some small estimation mistakes here and there.
I don’t know when and how fast the load is going to increase. It could happen any time or take until the end of the week. That is out of our control. Let’s get to the 20% load checkpoint first and plan from there.
