Yes you are right. Just watched known got up 1k and thought there had been some changes to this versions. Is the version identification just a string, which can be easily manipulated?
dr|z3d
if you're building your own router, the string can be anything you like. if it looks wrong, the network will reject it.
uop23ip
I guess than i don't have to look out for a version .99AttackAttack with 4k peers popping up from Macao lol Deleted from my checklist :)
orignal
look for "salt"
dr|z3d
:)
dr|z3d
China's on the up right now.
uop23ip
orignal, my intention here is not to help the attacker in any way, so i won't ask what you meant w/ naming this room saltr. When an attack happens I just make up my mind and check a little bit what i understand so far about i2p. And i got my cookies ready if something very unusual happens :)
uop23ip
clever, but pride will be he downfall
uop23ip
I will put 0.99AttackAttack again on the list
orignal
uop23ip "salt" was real
orignal
in the fake routers
not_bob
So, new attack?
dr|z3d
possibly.
dr|z3d
all just speculation right now based on observing network/router performance.
not_bob
I'm at 49% locally.
not_bob
With i2pd.
dr|z3d
that's probably fine for i2pd.
dr|z3d
and tbh, anything above 30% isn't catastrophic.
dr|z3d
I've got 45% on one router, 85% on another.
not_bob
Yeah
not_bob
Hah, I need to update this router.
not_bob
Just one point version behind, so not bad,.
orignal
not sure if it's an attack
dr|z3d
plenty of new X class routers, signinficant bump in chinese routers.
dr|z3d
combine that, plenty of new X class chinese routers.
dr|z3d
as I'm scrolling down the page, all I see is X class for china.
dr|z3d
mostly.
orignal
but who produces so many tunnels
dr|z3d
you'll have to do your own analysis there, i2p/i2p+ has throttles for transit requests.
not_bob
How many tunnels?
orignal
reached 25K on my floodfill
orignal
increased to 30K
dr|z3d
about time you set some limits, orignal
orignal
in i2pd transit tunnel costs nothing
orignal
only bandwidth matters
orignal
why? I think to set it to 100K ))
orignal
this funniest thing is that number of tunnels is uint16 ))
orignal
need to change it to uint32
dr|z3d
if there's genuine demand for that number of tunnels, then they should be better distributed.
dr|z3d
if the demand is bogus, then it needs to be addressed.
orignal
tunnel expires in 10 minutes
orignal
100 tunnel build requests per seconds is just 60K tunnels
dr|z3d
I scale the max number of transit tunnels a router can request based on its advertized bandwidth.
orignal
it's dumb
dr|z3d
not dumb at all.
orignal
because request migh come from transit nodes
orignal
so how much is from 50Mbs?
orignal
*for
dr|z3d
let the network take the strain, why allow requests to overload a single router when there's spare capacity about?
dr|z3d
and you don't think 30K requests on a single router is an attack?
dr|z3d
what's your normal average load?
orignal
well it's a floodfill
orignal
it's not normal average load
orignal
just some moron started an app creating hunreds of tunnels
orignal
like idiot from kislitsa do
dr|z3d
so an attack, or just incompetence.
orignal
yes, for me it's just a stupidity
orignal
in telegram monkeys are asking why number of tunnels is limited by 16 per destination
dr|z3d
well why don't you consider some strategy to throttle said moron(s)?
orignal
because I don't care
orignal
number of tunnels is not a probem for me
dr|z3d
well, maybe when the network turns to shit you can update your appraisal.
orignal
I see too much bandwidth
orignal
and this is another story
RN
how many tunnels does telegram need? Why do they think more is better? Sounds like the users need better education.
uop23ip
us no1 as always, germany no2 and china now 3. in my netdb. Interesting :)
T3s|4
uop23ip: my netdb, shows: US, Russia, and Germany, then insignificant China with only 2 routers ;p
orignal
telegram? in what sense?
orignal
my mtproxy has standard 5+5
orignal
I meant people in telegram are talkinng about number of tunnels
orignal
just because bunch of idiots there
dr|z3d
more better.
dr|z3d
why can't I haz 100 tunnels?
orignal
yes like this
orignal
they think more tunnels makes it faster
dr|z3d
they might be right, if they were running a server with 10s of thousands of users.
orignal
and with 10 users in practice ))
dr|z3d
easy way to explain it to them: tunnels are like lanes on a road.
orignal
ilita server has few hundreds IRC sessions all the time
dr|z3d
100 lanes won't make your ferrari go faster if there are 99 lanes unoccupied.
dr|z3d
I'll leave you to provide the crayon illustrations.
orignal
easier explanation
orignal
9 women can't deliver in 1 month
dr|z3d
that would have me scratching my head.
RN
me too... there's usually more than 9 in the maternity ward
RN
at least here
RN
and for your example, Dr, … try s/ferrari/citron/
RN
those asking for moar speed often are not running top of the line gear
dr|z3d
:)
dr|z3d
I think you mean citroen, not citron, unless you're driving a lemon around town, but hey!
RN
you caught the joke :D
dr|z3d
funny :)
RN
if you are driving a citroen, you are probably driving a lemon.
RN
LOL
RN
no offense intended to citroen fans
