Problem
We had previously added in a metric for tracking gossip push messages through the network in PR: #32725. However, this metric does not account for redundant pull requests.
Redundant Pull: A node receives a message via
PullResponse
and then receives the same message viaPush
.Redundant Pulls prevent us from accurately calculating how well messages are propagating via
Push
.Summary of Changes
Add in metric to report when a node receives a NEW message via
PullResponse
(gossip_crds_sample_pull
).Add in a metric to report when a node receives a message via
Push
but fails to insert (gossip_crds_sample_fail
).Identifying redundant Pulls:
gossip_crds_sample_pull
gossip_crds_sample_fail
Simulation Results
In a 100 node simulation, I saw Redundant Pulls occur somewhat frequently. This indicates Redundant Pulls may be the reason for the discrepancy between the simulated
Push
coverage and measuredPush
