Hey,
I think monero is interesting and want to support it a little. To do so i setup a public full node on my home-server (3900x with NVMe SSD) and configured it so that it is allowed to use up to 50% of my bandwidth (i have 500 MBit/s down and 40 MBit/s up)
I’m now not that sure how to configure in-peers and out-peers in a way that strengthens the network. My assumption would be that a high number of out-peers is bad because my server would be blocking in-connections of other nodes, and a high number if in-peers is good because i allow more people to download the chain.
Are these assumptions correct?
What would be some good values for in-peers and out-peers?
I currently configured 128 out-peers and 1024 in-peers. Is one of these exessive or not enough?
Update: I decided to go with 64 out-peers and 256 in-peers for now. See this comment for an explanation
@heikomat@lemmy.world If you’re still interested, now the recommendation is, that “in” is bigger: https://monero.town/post/1163754
