Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
This proposal is about an opt-in automated reporting system for network
|
|
statistics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Motivation
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Currently there are several network parameters which have been determined by
|
|
educated guessing. It is suspected that some of those can be tweaked to improve
|
|
the overall performance of the network in terms of speed, reliability and so on.
|
|
However, changing them without proper research is very risky.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Design
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
The router supports vast collection of stats which can be used to analyze
|
|
network-wide properties. What we need is an automated reporting system which
|
|
collects those stats in a centralized place. Naturally, this would be opt-in as
|
|
it pretty much destroys anonymity. (The privacy-friendly stats are already
|
|
reported to stats.i2p) As a ballpark figure, for a network of size 30,000 a
|
|
sample of 300 reporting routers should be representative enough.
