Trying to build a global network

Not really, maybe you’re running debug versions?

not something I observed as a common occurrence locally. I have seen spikes for activity but not consistent delays like what you mention.

I’m indeed running debug versions, I’ll try with building for release tomorrow and see what happens, thanks @Viv

I’m seeing the same delays with the release builds, no difference really, at least with launching vaults.

When launching each vault I see the first two minutes pass after the following log entry before anything else is logged:

T 18-12-27 10:50:34.579878 send method=Get, url="http://192.168.1.254/RootDevice.xml", client=Client { redirect_policy: FollowAll, read_timeout: None, write_timeout: None, proxy: None }

And I can see that when launching another vault the same type of delay and log is seen more than once before the vault finally joins the network:

another vault when trying to join also shows 2 mins delays in between some log entries

Another thing I’m seeing in the 5th vault I launched is that it was retrying to join at least more than once, I see the following logged after ~15mins that I launched it and still cannot join:

I’m not sure why that last one cannot join but the jumps in the timetamps of the logs seem to all be due to waiting a response to that even trying to get "http://192.168.1.254/RootDevice.xml" ?

I’ll share the logs of this run with the vault team.

Ok, thanks a lot @Viv, just to confirm here that the problem I was having when experiencing those delays are definitely related to the LAN I was using with my home WiFi (something going on when I use that router), as soon as I switched to my cellphone hotspot LAN the problem was completely gone and I’m able to run 5 vaults and also 6 vaults, which join the network quickly, and everything else is also quick, i.e. creating an account, uploading a couple of webapps with the WHM, and using those webapps from the browser generating some data as well.

This is what I’m using for the vaults, browser and WHM as routing config:

{
  "dev": {
    "allow_multiple_lan_nodes": true,
    "disable_client_rate_limiter": true,
    "disable_resource_proof": true,
    "min_section_size": 5
  }
}

I will try to also run a network with more vaults as well as with min_section_size 8 as it was mentioned above to see if I encounter any issues.

EDIT: I can confirm that it works for me also with min_section_size 8, with 8, 9, and even 10 vaults, this is the crust config I’m using:

{
  "hard_coded_contacts": [],
  "tcp_acceptor_port": null,
  "force_acceptor_port_in_ext_ep": false,
  "service_discovery_port": null,
  "bootstrap_cache_name": null,
  "whitelisted_node_ips": null,
  "whitelisted_client_ips": null,
  "network_name": "bochaco",
  "dev": null
}
