This is my 3rd month as a SNO and still learning, ive got a couple of rigs up and running but this month i got a lot less traffic then i did at the end of January also my docker logs are full with Failed upload messages.
Im running v.0.31.12 on my nodes.
Looks normal. The 118U satellite stopped uploading volumes of test data so now you see more of the other satellites around the world trying uploads and you link/distance to the client is such that you lose the race to receive the file. It’s part of the storj design. Nothing wrong, just accept those messages.
On my node, based on my packet traffic, it looks like a lot of those failed uploads are coming from Denmark(I suspect Stefan). I’m in the US so I’m not too surprised I’m loosing the race.
Highly unlikely that only resumes to “losing the race”.
I have 5 nodes, since RPI 3b+ on a 100/40 ISP to a HP Proliant Microserver on a dedicated 100/100 ISP!
They all went from a upload sucess rate of 96% to a 6ish!!!
This is not just “losing the race”!! Something else was implemented on 0.30.12!
probably not bandwith related, I have a 50/1000MBit/s connection in Germany.
Hardware is not bad either, Ryzen 2400, HDDs connected by USB3.0, almost no load on the server. But apparently my successrate is just as low as other people’s RPIs.
I’m surprised you get 65% success rate, that’s quite a lot higher than anything I read the last days.
My overall traffic dropped when 118 stopped stress testing… but my success rate only moved moderately down. I’m still seeing significantly higher success rates than Sept and Oct of 2019 when my node was sitting around 60% …
Results since 2020-02-02 13:49 UTC, node location NE USA
Keep in mind that latency to the satellite is not relevant, it’s latency to the uploading customer. As an example, if a customer is using a satellite in Europe but the customer is in Australia, nodes in Europe are going to lose the race against nodes in Australia.
You can only reason using the location of the satellite insofar as customers choose the satellite closest to them. They might not. And even in the same geographic region, latency to the satellite and latency to the customer could be wildly different depending on a whole host of factors.
I run a dual stack IPv4/IPv6 … Since about mid-Nov 2019, I get about half my traffic over IPv6. So, maybe that’s something to try if a given SNO sees a drop in successful hits.
