Description

Run deployments of between 1000 and 5000 Waku nodes actively passing messages in one network.

• Measure relay bandwidth
• Measure reliability of Waku message relaying
• Measure usage of the DiscV5 protocol
• Test Store protocol at scale
• Test Waku relay+store reliability with nodes going offline/online
  • If nodes go online/offline, we should be able to retrieve missing messages from the store. This will also test Waku message relaying in a different way.
• Filter and lightpush tests
• Test heterogenous clusters involving different node implementations such as nwaku and go-waku.

Justification

Deliverables

Similar deliverables to 10k sim, but with focuses on smaller scale and more frequent deployments.
