Description
We will create tools that allow DST and Waku teams to analyze and test Waku scaling properties. This includes tooling like a general lor parser, a black-box bandwidth monitor, and other utilities that may appear depending on the needs of the projects.
Background
Narratives
These efforts will support the Conduit of Expertise narrative by accelerating Waku Improvements, providing measurable insights to enhance developer experience within and beyond the IFT ecosystem. Also, ideally these tools can be shared across projects, reinforcing cross project collaboration.

- status: 100%
- start-date: 2025/01/01
- end-date: 2025/01/31
Description
Code that is able to explore and analyze Waku logging, and deliver requested insights. Ideally, logging format should be abstract and pluggable, so this is easy to use in other projects.

Bandwidth monitor
- fully qualified name:
vac:dst:waku:2025q1-waku-tooling:bandwidth-monitor - owner: Wings
- status: 100%
- start-date: 2025/01/06
- end-date: 2025/01/24
Description
Tool that is able to work as a sidecar in a Kubernetes environment. This tool will be able to retrieve the entire bandwidth of a binary, filtering by origin/destination ports. It will export this information as a metric, so it can be scrapped by a monitoring stack. It will be easily extendable if necessary, either with ports, and possibly different filters.

Description
Create a generalized script that allows to create custom topologies connection of any p2p software. Would be good to consider both scenarios, as limiting the visibility of the software through networking, or creating the topology by software flags if it supports it.
