`29/WAKU2-CONFIG` describes the RECOMMENDED values to assign to configurable parameters for Waku v2 clients.
|
|
Since Waku v2 is built on [libp2p](https://github.com/libp2p/specs),
|
|
most of the parameters and reasonable defaults are derived from there.
|
|
|
|
Waku v2 relay messaging is specified in [`11/WAKU2-RELAY`](/spec/11),
|
|
a minor extension of the [libp2p GossipSub protocol](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/pubsub/gossipsub/README.md).
|
|
GossipSub behaviour is controlled by a series of adjustable parameters.
|
|
Waku v2 clients SHOULD configure these parameters to the recommended values below.
|
|
|
|
# GossipSub v1.0 parameters
|
|
|
|
GossipSub v1.0 parameters are defined in the [corresponding libp2p specification](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/pubsub/gossipsub/gossipsub-v1.0.md#parameters).
|
|
We repeat them here with RECOMMMENDED values for `11/WAKU2-RELAY` implementations.
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Purpose | RECOMMENDED value |
|
|
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|
|
|
| `D` | The desired outbound degree of the network | 6 |
|
|
| `D_low` | Lower bound for outbound degree | 4 |
|
|
| `D_high` | Upper bound for outbound degree | 8 |
|
|
| `D_lazy` | (Optional) the outbound degree for gossip emission | `D` |
|
|
| `heartbeat_interval` | Time between heartbeats | 1 second |
|
|
| `fanout_ttl` | Time-to-live for each topic's fanout state | 60 seconds |
|
|
| `mcache_len` | Number of history windows in message cache | 5 |
|
|
| `mcache_gossip` | Number of history windows to use when emitting gossip | 3 |
|
|
| `seen_ttl` | Expiry time for cache of seen message ids | 2 minutes |
|
|
|
|
# GossipSub v1.1 parameters
|
|
|
|
GossipSub v1.1 extended GossipSub v1.0 and introduced [several new parameters](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/pubsub/gossipsub/gossipsub-v1.1.md#overview-of-new-parameters).
|
|
We repeat the global parameters here with RECOMMMENDED values for `11/WAKU2-RELAY` implementations.
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Description | RECOMMENDED value |
|
|
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|
|
|
| `PruneBackoff` | Time after pruning a mesh peer before we consider grafting them again. | 1 minute |
|
|
| `FloodPublish` | Whether to enable flood publishing | true |
|
|
| `GossipFactor` | % of peers to send gossip to, if we have more than `D_lazy` available | 0.25 |
|
|
| `D_score` | Number of peers to retain by score when pruning from oversubscription | `D_low` |
|
|
| `D_out` | Number of outbound connections to keep in the mesh. | `D_low` - 1 |
|
|
|
|
`11/WAKU2-RELAY` clients SHOULD implement a peer scoring mechanism with the parameter constraints as [specified by libp2p](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/pubsub/gossipsub/gossipsub-v1.1.md#overview-of-new-parameters).
|
|
|
|
# Other configuration
|
|
|
|
The following behavioural parameters are not specified by `libp2p`,
|
|
but nevertheless describes constraints that `11/WAKU2-RELAY` clients MAY choose to implement.
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Description | RECOMMENDED value |
|
|
|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|
|
|
| `BackoffSlackTime` | Slack time to add to prune backoff before attempting to graft again | 2 seconds |
|
|
| `IWantPeerBudget` | Maximum number of IWANT messages to accept from a peer within a heartbeat | 25 |
|
|
| `IHavePeerBudget` | Maximum number of IHAVE messages to accept from a peer within a heartbeat | 10 |
|
|
| `IHaveMaxLength` | Maximum number of messages to include in an IHAVE message | 5000 |
