The faster the operators upgrade to this latest release, the better. A that will allow us to do more precise testing through the nodes without the registry bug, leading to more precise specs for nym-node.

Fast & Furious - WireGuard edition

Nym team started another round of load and speed testing. This time the tests are limited to Wireguard mode Gateways - to find out any weak spots for needed improvement. The load testing is happening directly on mainnet as it simulates a real user traffic which the network components must be able to handle in order.

Over past week we ran a total of three tests, with 450 clients at most. We’ve managed to push around 300 GB in total. Around 50% of requests failed. Over the course of those three tests, we did about 5000 requests, and bandwidth per client varies between 50Mb/s and 150Mb/s.

We already caught two bugs and fixed it in this release.

Here are the aims of these tests:

  1. Understanding of the wireguard network behavior under full load
    • How many client users can all entry gateways and exit gateways handle simultaneously?
    • How much sustained IP traffic can a subset of mainnet nodes sustain?
  2. Needed improvements of Nym Node binaries to improve the throughput on mainnet
  3. Measurement of required machine specs
    • Releasing a new spec requirements
  4. Raw data record
  5. Increase quality of Nym Nodes

Meanwhile we started to research pricing of stronger servers with unlimited bandwidth and higher (and stable) port speed, to arrive to a better understanding of needed rewards and grants to bootstrap the network before NymVPN launch.

More info about testing and tools for performance monitoring can be found in this chapter.

We would like to call out to operators to join the efforts and reach out to us if they know of solid ISPs who offer reliable dedicated services for good price or may even be interested in partnership.

Delegation Program

In October we again proceeded with our Delegation Program. 22 nodes didn’t meet the program rules and got their delegation removed and 25 nodes from the que received delegation. Below is a complete list.
