GossipSub: improve flood publish #854
Comments
|
Sure, whatever we end up doing for #850 will also apply to flood publishing |
If the parallel sending limiting (same as 'stagger sending') works well, then flood publish shouldn't be the issue: mesh peers would receive messages from publisher with approximately same timings as without floodPublish. A number of nodes (non-mesh peers of the publisher) would just potentially receive +1 duplicate |
The performance part has been addressed in #911 |
Flood publishing has been addressed as described in the comment above. Other improvements related to bandwidth and latency were addressed in:
Can we consider this issue solved? @arnetheduck @kaiserd |
Flood publish:
✅ faster propagation of messages
✅ better sybil resistance (the first hop is the most fragile one)
😢 bandwidth usage (scales linearly with number of subbed connected peers)
😢 privacy (when you send a message out of your mesh, you reveal that you are the source)
The bandwidth usage will soon become a bottleneck in ethereum, and we need to find better solutions. Some leads:

instead of the full message?Will also need adjustments at the specs level
