Reduce upload traffic
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A major part of the outbound traffic is caused by serving historic blocks to
|
|
|
|
|
other nodes in initial block download state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to reduce the total upload traffic via the `-maxuploadtarget`
|
|
|
|
|
parameter. This is *not* a hard limit but a threshold to minimize the outbound
|
|
|
|
|
traffic. When the limit is about to be reached, the uploaded data is cut by not
|
|
|
|
|
serving historic blocks (blocks older than one week).
|
|
|
|
|
Moreover, any SPV peer is disconnected when they request a filtered block.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This option can be specified in MiB per day and is turned off by default
|
|
|
|
|
(`-maxuploadtarget=0`).
|
|
|
|
|
The recommended minimum is 144 * MAX_BLOCK_SIZE (currently 144MB) per day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
