It is possible to saturate a pipe, causing issues, for relatively short periods of time. Applying a little traffic shaping will often not affect things adversely but provide an improved perception of performance all-round. This is the essence of QOS. There is no point paying huge amounts of money for a smoking-fast internet connection if you are only using that speed for a dozen milliseconds every hour.



Also, many of us are on ADSL where even someone also on ADSL connecting to us can saturate our upstream whilst only taking a small fraction of their own downstream. Bandwidth management is a thing.



I'm afraid you might be doing something wrong with your LAN. I too have a ADSL connection with a measly 3mb down/1 mb up bandwidth, but I am able to run a file server & a mining rig 24/7 that run 2 p2pool nodes & 15 different wallets (including 2 Bitcoin) as well as my daytime PC & a laptop without issue or bottlenecks, here is a screen of my router network usage:







...as can be seen, my usage rarely goes above 40kBs download & 34kBs upload, so running one p2pool node & one Bitcoin wallet is not a problem on even the slowest ADSL line. It's simply a case of setting maxconnections on your wallets & making sure your QOS settings are right, no changes to p2pool connections are needed - I use the standard settings. If you are still having bottleneck issues/slowdowns after checking your settings then it's time to buy a new router......



Edit: The only time you will drown your network is when you sync your wallets/p2pool (ie: restarts etc). I'm afraid you might be doing something wrong with your LAN.

Every miner connects to the ckpool instance, which directs to the p2pool node underneath.



but for miners far from him will have latency issues eh ?



i'm sure that's part of it & prolly he has a way to solve the latency issue ?

With ckproxy, the added latency is dependent upon where ckproxy is and where the p2pool you are talking to is.



If you are choosing between:

a) running a local ckproxy pointing to a remote p2pool

b) mining to a remote p2pool

Latency will be pretty much the same - the problem is the choice to use a remote p2pool.



If you are choosing between:

a) mining to a ckproxy on the p2pool node

b) mining to the p2pool node

again, latency will be pretty much the same since ckproxy talking to a local p2pool is only a tiny addition to the latency Any remote p2pool node means more latency ... running centralised p2pool nodes like a lot of people do already, means people are getting more rejects than the very high rejects p2pool has by default.With ckproxy, the added latency is dependent upon where ckproxy is and where the p2pool you are talking to is.If you are choosing between:a) running a local ckproxy pointing to a remote p2poolb) mining to a remote p2poolLatency will be pretty much the same - the problem is the choice to use a remote p2pool.If you are choosing between:a) mining to a ckproxy on the p2pool nodeb) mining to the p2pool nodeagain, latency will be pretty much the same since ckproxy talking to a local p2pool is only a tiny addition to the latency lowest fee PPL N S 3 Days Here on Bitcointalk:

This is absolutely true.



P2Pool is inherently faster and more efficient when run locally. This means you make more money running your own node. If you can, do it!



This is what P2Pool is designed for.



For those that can't, or just want to check it out, mining to a nearby low-latency 0% fee node is a great option.



At this stage of the game, where we are 1% of the hashrate if we are lucky, talking about a "centralized" p2pool node is about the equivalent of discussing a single infantry solders role in the victory of a war.



P2Pool still remains the only 100% trustless solution for pooled mining, it is the only 100% transparent pool where you have full control if you run your own node.



If you mine on someone else's node, then you are trusting them to a small degree to acknowledge your shares and to include what you believe a reasonable amount of transactions in a block.



If you mine on a centralized pool you are trusting them with much more, particularly your earnings. This is absolutely true.P2Pool is inherently faster and more efficient when run locally.

I have 3 S5's situated in a Chinese datacentre. I am in the UK.



These miners run through a Miningrigrental pool (main one in EU) which gives me immediate control over switching of nodes should I need to. I'm currently on Coin Cadence, but I wondered how I can reduce my DOA?



Would it be best to:



1. Choose a node nearest the physical location of my equipment? For example in China.



2. Choose a node nearest to the miningrigrental server? For example in Europe.



or



3. Choose or create a node nearest to my personal physical location? For example in The UK .



Or something else?



Sorry for the long question. I'm quite new to P2pool.

My node is going to be awful routing from China to the UK then to Ashburn VA, a share would literally travel around the world before it hit a p2pool node.



If you really want to stick with MRR then I'd look for nodes close to them, or ask them if they know of a low latency P2Pool node nearby.



This is still not ideal because MRR adds 2 hops between your miners and P2Pool.

the closer the better (miner to node). you can try to ping from your miner location *if you can*



this would give you an idea



in asia you can try my node



if you need help to setup you can join irc webchat on my node too.
