Network Parameters

network.address

• Type: String, Socket-Address
• Required

Address for p2p communication for consensus (sumeragi) and block synchronization (block_sync) purposes.

[network]
address = "localhost:1337"

TODO: wait for renamings

network.block_gossip_period

• Type: String or Number, Duration
• Default: 10 seconds

The time interval between requests to peers for the most recent block.

Example:

[sumeragi]
block_gossip_period = "5s"

WARNING

More frequent gossiping shortens the time to sync, but can overload the network.

network.max_blocks_per_gossip

• Type: Number
• Default: $4$

The amount of blocks that can be sent in a single synchronization message.

Example:

[sumeragi]
max_blocks_per_gossip = 4

network.max_transactions_per_gossip

• Type: Number
• Default: $500$

Max number of transactions in a gossip batch message. Smaller size leads to longer time to synchronise, but useful if you have high packet loss.

Example:

[sumeragi]
max_transactions_per_gossip = 500

network.transaction_gossip_period

• Type: String or Number, Duration
• Default: 1 second

Period for pending transaction gossiping between peers.

Example:

[sumeragi]
transaction_gossip_period = "1s"

WARNING

More frequent gossiping shortens the time to sync, but can overload the network.
