Live Network Liquidity Parameters #10

Open justmoon opened 6 years ago

justmoon commented 6 years ago

The live network still has issues with liquidity management. Large payments tend to run the payment channels dry faster than they can replenish.

This appears to be largely a configuration issue. We need to tune the channel parameters such that this doesn't happen.

Once we have parameters that work, we should consider ways to turn them into defaults and make XRP payment channel plugins easier to configure.

Interesting, I'll see if I can reproduce this problem on the testnet. Is that on symmetric links or asymmetric ones?

sharafian commented 6 years ago

@michielbdejong This will probably happen on all links, whether symmetric or asymmetric. Setting a maximum payment size and maximum throughput should be enough to stop this from becoming an issue, but the exact values to set are a little harder to come up with
