Description
- Benchmark shadow experiments with DST experiments. This also includes:
- Deliberating experiments focused on ethereum and other generalized usecases
- QUIC allows stream prioritization. Experment with different message prioritization/rotation techniques. Can be helpful in peak loads
- Theoratically, average link latency can have noticeable impact on message dissemination latency.
- At first we will use psuedo-random peers to experiment the impact of optimal peer selection on the protocol performance.
- Evaluate the peering quality under the current arrangement
- Use these findings to achieve improvements in the peering algorithm.
- Follow up GossipSub related discussions on forums like Ethresearch, libp2p specs, and other related repos.
- Carry-out detailed performance comparisons of nim-libp2p, go-libp2p and rust-libp2p. This includes
- Checking for latency and bandwidth utilization
- Identifying any potential improvements available to go, rust libp2p
- Create testcases and relevant simulation scripts for the ethereum usecase
- GossipSub 1.4 implementation
