Re: [Bitcoin-development] Network propagation speeds

2013-11-25 Thread Michael Gronager
Hi Christian,

Cool - thanks for posting - agree, that it would be nice to normalize
the results with block size - so divide by size and:
1. see if there is a correlation (we all presume there still is)
2. plot the delay graph as e.g. normalized to the averaged blocksize or
lets define a standard block size of 200kb or what ever so we can
compare the plot btw days.

Also, does the correlation of propagation times hold for transaction
sizes as well (would be ice to find the logical t0 and the constant - I
guess the interesting measure is not kb but signatures, so number of
inputs - some correlation with size though).

Best,

Michael

 Could you publish the block ids and timestamp sets for each block?

 It would be useful in correlating propagation information against
 block characteristics.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Network propagation speeds

Thanks Mike for the Tip :-)

I will definitely extend the calculations to include a size-normalized
version. As for transaction propagations, being much smaller the
measurements tend to be much noisier, but given enough samples we
might be able to reconstruct some of the system parameters.

Good idea to attempt to correlate propagation speed and number of
inputs/outputs, might be interesting to see whether processing at the
nodes has an influence.

Regards,
Chris
