Currently, js-waku nodes manage to maintain 15-30 connections at the same time when run against TWN, which raises concerns about bandwidth consumption. There is no cap on the number of connections, and without proper connection management, this could result in excessive resource usage, especially as the network grows. Additionally, the PeerStore could grow with unhealthy peers, complicating future dials when connections are needed
Key concerns:
No cap on active connections, potentially increasing bandwidth consumption.
Peers in the PeerStore may include unhealthy peers that can’t be dialed efficiently when needed.
Dialing is necessary to determine if a peer supports the needed protocols, but excessive dials could result in resource wastage.
Proposed Solutions
Implement a cap of N active connections
Remove unhealthy peers from the PeerStore to avoid attempting dials on unreliable peers. Retain only healthy and dialable peers
Implement pruning logic to efficiently scan and filter peers before attempting dials, to ensure only healthy connections are retained
Before attempting a dial, use initial filtering based on:
Multiaddr supports websockets
ENR contains useful information to pre-filter dialable peers
Ensure that connections used by critical protocols (e.g., Filter) are never capped or dropped
For peers discovered through Peer Exchange, establish connections temporarily, utilize them, and then drop them to maintain the cap
Notes
Even though we will prune peers, it’s important to dial peers initially to confirm if they are dialable and then disconnect if they aren’t needed at that time
This will also help manage PeerStore more efficiently, especially as the network scales and the number of peers increases
