However, we didn't change the timer count at which we disconnect peers if they're not responding, which we likely should have done. We do so here, as well as update the documentation for `PeerManager::timer_tick_occurred` to suggest always ticking the timer every ten seconds instead of five. --- diff --git a/lightning/src/ln/peer_handler.rs b/lightning/src/ln/peer_handler.rs index b910d4bf7..d3ac2ebe9 100644 --- a/lightning/src/ln/peer_handler.rs +++ b/lightning/src/ln/peer_handler.rs @@ -307,12 +307,12 @@ const OUTBOUND_BUFFER_LIMIT_DROP_GOSSIP: usize = OUTBOUND_BUFFER_LIMIT_READ_PAUS /// Thus, to avoid needlessly disconnecting a peer, we allow a peer to take this many timer ticks /// per connected peer to respond to a ping, as long as they send us at least one message during /// each tick, ensuring we aren't actually just disconnected. -/// With a timer tick interval of five seconds, this translates to about 30 seconds per connected +/// With a timer tick interval of ten seconds, this translates to about 40 seconds per connected /// peer. /// /// When we improve parallelism somewhat we should reduce this to e.g. this many timer ticks per /// two connected peers, assuming most LDK-running systems have at least two cores. -const MAX_BUFFER_DRAIN_TICK_INTERVALS_PER_PEER: i8 = 6; +const MAX_BUFFER_DRAIN_TICK_INTERVALS_PER_PEER: i8 = 4; /// This is the minimum number of messages we expect a peer to be able to handle within one timer /// tick.
