Spam/DoS protection #3380

Open JustinDrake opened 7 years ago

JustinDrake commented 7 years ago

I am writing a DHT crawler for go-ipfs. At the moment it seems I can repeatedly hit the network and not get kickbanned. Is there spam/DoS protection where abusive IPs are automatically removed?

@JustinDrake currently no, we havent had issues with it yet so we havent put much effort into adressing that problem.

Ok. As side note my crawlers indicate there are about 200 nodes on the network. Realistically OpenBazaar is going to have 2,000 online nodes at any time, pushing the envelope forward.

@JustinDrake hundreds of nodes come online and go offline periodically. from some measurements, most nodes are not long-lived. the network ebbs around 200-500 long lived and, i've observed 1000-3000 unique peer.IDs per week on different weeks i've tried it.

But yes, 2K nodes with OB will be good-- though note OB will be in a separate independent network for a while.
