In this commit, we add detailed documentation to help node operators understand and configure the gossip rate limiting system effectively. The new guide addresses a critical knowledge gap that has led to misconfigured nodes experiencing synchronization failures. The documentation covers the token bucket algorithm used for rate limiting, providing clear formulas and examples for calculating appropriate values based on node size and network position. We include specific recommendations ranging from 50 KB/s for small nodes to 1 MB/s for large routing nodes, with detailed calculations showing how these values are derived. The guide explains the relationship between rate limiting and other configuration options like num-restricted-slots and the new filter-concurrency setting. We provide troubleshooting steps for common issues like slow initial sync and peer disconnections, along with debug commands and log patterns to identify problems. Configuration examples are provided for conservative, balanced, and performance-oriented setups, giving operators concrete starting points they can adapt to their specific needs. The documentation emphasizes the importance of not setting rate limits too low, warning that values below 50 KB/s can cause synchronization to fail entirely. |
