Title: Full Node and Lightning Node bandwidth question. Post by: TheBeardedBaby on July 13, 2018, 10:45:14 AM I'm planning to run two nodes sometime soon, but I have to decide which solution is better.
To build a physical machine home or get a VPS. And here comes the question about the Internet bandwidth. I have a shitty ADSL line with no more than 7Mbit connection, in the best cases. What is the real bandwidth required for the Full node and same question for the LN node, does the number of open channels affect the bandwidth.

I believe it heavily depends on the number of simultaneous connections you'll allow. (Default = 125?), https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#reduce-maximum-connections For the exact requirements on full nodes, see https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#minimum-requirements , which states Quote A broadband Internet connection with upload speeds of at least 400 kilobits (50 kilobytes) per second As far as lightning goes, i would assume so, but perhaps someone with more knowledge than me can answer that.

Here you can check some stats of full node running https://statoshi.info/ Specifically bandwidth is this graph https://statoshi.info/dashboard/db/bandwidth-usage Title: Re: Full Node and Lightning Node bandwidth question. Post by: Jet Cash on July 14, 2018, 09:17:45 AM If you are going to run a full node on VPS, make sure that you are able to use port 8333. I have a VPS plan that restricts this.

I have decided to go for the VPS in the beginning and later, build my own server at home. Since it's gonna be an experimental setup at first I'll try not to invest too much so I'm looking for cheap VPS accepting crypo.
I will take in consideration the port 8333 issue, thanks Jet Cash. |
