vac:p2p:

  • nimlibp2p:vac:webrtc-transport
    • Fix a bug in Datachannel.read (reading the last message received instead of the first one)
    • Fix a bug due to an Sctp delay (set it to 0ms was the solution)
    • Find a bug in the conception of WebRTCStream. ReadOnce should be Length-prefixed.
      • try to fix it by re-writing ReadOnce, but due to the nature of this proc (inheritance issue) it doesn’t work
      • write a RawWebRTCStream to make the length readable without issue
    • Fix a bug with the endianness of the datachannel protocol id
    • E2E Done!
  • nimlibp2p:vac:gossipsub-stagger-send
  • nimlibp2p:vac:maintenance
    • Investigate dependencies issues
      • Found possible problem/s
        • Lack of versioning
        • No major version clamping
        • Using#head
      • Temporary workaround: Clamp/Pin (to git hash) libp2p dependencies’ versions
    • Improve documentation [In Progress]
      • Building go-libp2p-daemon
      • Getting Started
      • PR
    • Merge timeout increase
    • Improved checkExpiring
      • Now it’ll outpout an error message when it fails due to timeout
        • Not the most visible message

vac:dst:

  • eng-10ktool:vac:bandwidth-test
    • Try to get a stable nim-libp2p version for simulations. Investigated with Alex about building issues with nimble.
    • Analized libp2p metrics, everything normal so far
    • call with p2p team
    • Scale testing for 10K project
      • setup go-waku experiment at scale
      • Successfully simulated a 2,150 node simulation and gathered some basic metrics
      • Modified Kubernetes to allow for more pods to allow for (in theory) scaling to 10k+
      • Failed simulations at 10000 and 5000 nodes - current limits seem to be around ~4800 or so
      • Prometheus is a definite bottleneck - need to switch to a scaled/sharded Prometheus/Thanos setup
      • Attempting one last simulation over the weekend at 4200 nodes
    • Diagnosing 10K project bottlenecks
      • Identified a major potential bottleneck in the form of control plane traffic going over Wireguard / large packet load over WG causing swarm collapse
      • will test the new theory later by re-deploying on Vac Kubernetes with a local control plane + local traffic (while still complying with infra team requirements)
