So, a theory presents itself: we have Set A: N nodes with high traffic, ~3k reqs per hour to ~ 100k reqs per hour Set B: M nodes with low traffic, hundreds of reqs per hour or less N is a LOT smaller than M. Set A nodes have low advertising (datasource reset) probabilities, but Set B nodes have high advertising probabilities, due to the load balancing algorithm, which evidently isn't working. Hence a request goes out on the network and after a few hops meets a set B node, and gets its datasource reset and consequentially hopsSinceReset set to zero. Interestingly, the nodes that get little traffic are NOT locally overloaded, or they would have lower reset probabilities due to the (proportion of requests accepted) ^ 5 which is multiplied into the reset probability... Any suggestions as to what to do about this? BTW, I want to see some reset probabilities from live nodes to try to confirm this statistically.
