eng-10ktool:vac:bandwidth-test- Finish plotter module tests and prepare PR (ongoing)
- Thanos PR merged (https://github.com/vacp2p/10ksim/pull/15)
- Create class to manage data (https://github.com/vacp2p/10ksim/pull/16).
- hardware offloaded for Waku testing
- Built 24 new Kubernetes workers, configured them with static IPs and all tuning
- Got new CX6 cards updated, configured, installed and working
- Achieved hardware offloading; but:
- Running a Waku workload, two interesting things happened
- When we started the publisher, the load increased until the physical nodes become so unusably slow that they needed IPMI intervention to come back to life
- Checking the offloadeded flows during the test (prior to publishing) showed no offloaded routes or flows.
- We need to figure out how to get our workload offloaded correctly.

secure-channels:waku:ethereum-chat- Created a PR with a first version of the RFC on the proposal for the decentralized communication protocol. https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/ETH-SECPM-DEC/vac/raw/Decentralized%20messaging%20Ethereum.md
- Started exploring UPKE as a potential tool for the decentralized protocol.
- Discussed with Ugur some aspects of DCGKA around causal order.
secure-channels:waku:ethereum-chat- Attached some comments on DCGKA specification in notion
- Research about causal ordering and create a small doc about it in notion
- Quickly check the paper that compares and analyzes DCGKA (https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/1531.pdf)
- Discuss with Ramses about decent SIWE, complexity and causal ordering.
- Started to examine DCGKA implementation to understand which causal ordering is used in this repo

gsub-scaling:vac:gossipsub-simulation- Played with IDontWant messags with different arrangements. Mainly investigated reduced message sending with/without hello messages.
Reduced sending shows nearly 5-10% latency and 20-25% bandwidth reduction when message sizes reach beyond 600 KB.
The findings are available as notion page
- Interestingly {Reduced sending + IDontWant} without IHAVE messages shows similar performance to {Reduced sending + IDontWant + IHAVE}
- Played with IDontWant messags with different arrangements. Mainly investigated reduced message sending with/without hello messages.
Reduced sending shows nearly 5-10% latency and 20-25% bandwidth reduction when message sizes reach beyond 600 KB.
