Title: Lightning Network Stress Tested?
Post by: AusKipper on February 27, 2018, 02:32:04 AM
Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows the maximum transactions per second the Lightning network has actually been tested to with any links to that information?

I know the theoretical limits are over a million transactions per second but I'm after a number that has been achieved in testing or even on a real coin.

I have tried googling this and searching on these forums for the answer, but I have been unsuccessful.

Thanks.

There's a test network available for testing purposes, maybe you can give it a try, you set up some test nodes and start to do the transfers. When you use the testnet, you can claim some testing bitcoins, so you won't risk your mainnet bitcoins.
I also would be interested in the results, but I'm afraid the test network would only give a theoretical maximum, but in real life situation this can change... Any calculation in the documentation?
