Subject: Network Health
You might have noticed that the last couple of days the health of the I2P
network has been very bad. It is impossible to connect to the IRC server and
also other services are failing often.
This behaviour is caused the I2P tunnels not dealing well with the traffic
them, instead of quickly dropping excessive connections, it tries to serve them
all; which results in a nasty traffic jam. The increased network traffic caused
by the torrents is likely the cause for this behaviour showing up early.
As we know, jrandom is working on the new streaming library, which will fix
this problem. Repairing the current design is not easy; I think it will be a
waste of time with the new lib near.
