High memory usage.

[hkhk366]

I run the following command.
./edgevpn --token xxx --address 10.1.0.1/24

After one day, it will cost 1GB of memory. And the memory is keep going up. Is this normal? Thank you.

Hi @hkhk366 , thanks for filing up an issue!

Can you tell which version of edgevpn are you trying? also, try to fiddle with memory limits in the options - the resource manager has recently been added in libp2p and still tracking down potential memory usage spikes. However, with 0.18 memory consumption is pretty good here.

@mudler Hello, thanks for your message. I use 0.18 and download them here https://github.com/mudler/edgevpn/releases/tag/v0.18.0

Both windows 10 and ubuntu 20.04 cost much memory. I don't know why. Wouild you like to check it?

@mudler FYI.

I run it again today. This time, I run it for 20 mins. The memory used 240MB. And it is keep going up. I checked peers' information. The peers' number is keep increasing and never going down.

Another thing is, even two nodes in the same local network. When I send a file via smb, the speed is only 500KB to 1MB per second. Clients are windows 10. The speed is very slow, do you know why? Thank you.

I'm sorry i can't really help much on windows since I'm not a windows user at all - and takes away from me too much on my side to spawn up test environments with it.

However, did you tried to specify a lower limit for max connections? try set --max-connections 10 or something around that to see if the situation improves.

Did it help?

Did it help?

Unfortunately no, I just switched to another tool that provides the p2p feature.
