are you blocking the receive loop with that delay? that could explain getting worse.

From an api perspective, i wouldnt say no if we had an implementation, as it is indeed quite useful. On the same time this really isnt straightforward to implement, there...

These are misdials lower in the stack; it's probably stale peers and port reuse that's causing this.

Well, `Host.Close()` cancels a context, which may take time to take effect.

not a pubsub bug; midials lower in the stack.

This all sounds reasonable.

I think Relay only nodes must also validate -- otherwise they may forward invalid messages which offers attackers an easy avenue to inject invalid messages without being discovered. Also, when...

Relays will almost certainly want to validate, otherwise they are open to attack.

I am going to add a test to satisfy the requirements of keeping coverage.

This is pertinent to episub and it is a very good question; the decision will have to be more nuanced and perhaps include timestamps.
