Extremely high bandwidth usage #1556

Closed Snipa22 closed 3 years ago

Snipa22 commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I was doing an audit of my server/pool nodes, which run just Monerod, and noticed that several of them were performing extremely high levels of network transit, in excess of 200Mbit/second. Based on this, I pulled a full stats logs for my servers, and noted almost 37Tb of traffic being transferred in the last week: http://i.imgur.com/9joIAbL.png

This would equate out to over 12k blockchain syncs at this point, which seems quite excessive offhand, as this is only a week's worth of traffic. I've gone ahead and reduced the speed of syncs on my boxes, but hope this can be resolved.

Looks like a good chunk of this may be bad nodes trying to sync as well: http://i.imgur.com/rU03eaU.png

https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/2149 will help a fair amount (once your peers have updated).

What does it look like now ? :)

moneromooo-monero commented 4 years ago

monerod should now use about a third less bandwidth, and another third less once most other nodes have updated.

06:07 Haven't checked in forever. My ISP's stoped complaining, so I'll assume they're fine.
