Reduce download traffic
|
||||||
|
-----------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We have made several changes to reduce the amount of data downloaded by `zcashd`
|
||||||
|
during initial block download (IBD):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Significant time and bandwidth is spent in issuing `getheaders` P2P requests.
|
||||||
|
This results in noticeable bandwidth usage due to the large size of Zcash
|
||||||
|
block headers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We now eliminate redundant requests in cases where we already know the last
|
||||||
|
header in the message. This optimization is enabled by default, but can be
|
||||||
|
disabled by setting the config option `-no-optimize-getheaders`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Transactions in the mempool are no longer downloaded during IBD (`zcashd` will
|
||||||
|
only request block data).
