David,
I've been following your progress in the "Add load balancing to bridge
(#40095)" issue.

numbers are four times higher.
Per my previous response, my findings are consistent with yours in that Onionoo
only shows metrics for a single instance; except, for consensus weight.

Your Heartbeat logs continue to appear to be in good health. When keys are
rotated, the Heartbeat logs will be a key indicator in validating health
whether connections are bleeding off from or remaining with a particular
instance.

I'm glad to hear you feel the IPv6 reporting appears to be a false-negative.
Does this mean there's something wrong with IPv6 Heartbeat reporting?

I believe your observation is correct with regard to an induced traffic
situation. As cpu resources increase, it will likely be lagged by increased
traffic, until demand is satisfied or you run out of cpu resources, again. Are
your existing 8 cpu's only single cores? Is it too difficult to upgrade with
your VPS provider? The O/S should detect the virtual hardware changes and add
them accordingly. My current resource constraint is RAM, but I'm using
bare-metal machines.
Great Progress!
