Clarify terminology around maximum transactions vs maximum operations per ledger

Open paulbellamy opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

What did you do?

On https://developers.stellar.org/docs/glossary/ledger/, we say:

Maximum Number of Transactions: The maximum number of operations validators have agreed to process in a given ledger. If more transactions are submitted than this number, […]

This flips back and forth between transactions/operations, which is confusing.

What did you expect to see?

We should probably say something like “Maximum Number of Operations”, and say, “If more operations are submitted […]“. The field in the XDR is maxTxSetSize which isn't opinionated about how to measure it, so I don't see a reason not to use the right language.
