Improve peer prioritization

Open cmars opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

As peers collect more neighbors, they need to prioritize better the ones that are recently active and productive.

Suspecting that the demo share VLD0:Q0TGVjxV-LjDtpsj1wojsEBx8SU9egVwSlKo0bNjQoY is so polluted with dead test peers that it's difficult to contact a live one.

This is a hunch that needs validation though.. observability is also lacking.

This is probably still a problem... but not something that was blocking distribution of the above share.

It turns out I thought I'd updated the seeder docker compose in my homelab to 0.5.11, which introduced periodic reannounces and a bug fix (over-eager resetting that may have kept down peers down). But I hadn't.

After bouncing it, fetches from this share are back up.

All that said, peer prio still needs improvement.
