Networking performance degrades over time

[alastairong]

Issue:

• Networking performance degrades over time - signals are no longer received and gossip becomes patchy / slow. It can become noticeably less reliable within 2 hours and after a day or two may not receive any signals at all
• I suspect this is a holochain networking issue because:
  • UI still able to make zome calls to the Holoport reliably
  • Holoport returns zome call successes to UI (e.g. confirmation of signals sent)
  • Restarting holochain fixes issues
  • Proxy server does not need restarting / intervention

Urgency:

• Low - we can use interim solutions for now (e.g. having holochain on a regular restart timer).

We'll address this after our database changeover when we actually implement our intended gossip protocols. We don't want to invest much effort optimizing/troubleshooting code we're replacing.

@alastairong Reviving this thread to check in whether this is still a recurring issue with the recent versions of Holochain.

We haven't tested at any sort of scale recently so it's hard to say.
