[1500 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool

i got this behavior on v11 that i don't recall ever seeing before:

After running overnight I see latency has improved alot for v11.

It still leaks memory, after less than a day I'm already around 1 Gb of ram used.

I not understand, why ppl hacking code so bad...

Code:

2013-01-04 11:22:16.984000 Outgoing connection to peer 82.224.192.145:9323 established. p2pool version: 1100 '9.4-45-g0981bdf'
2013-01-04 11:22:32.818000 Outgoing connection to peer 94.224.37.118:51333 established. p2pool version: 1000 '10.0-dirty'
2013-01-04 11:22:33.972000 Outgoing connection to peer 91.235.254.37:9323 established. p2pool version: 1100 '11.0-2-g0981bdf'
2013-01-04 11:23:41.505000 Outgoing connection to peer 46.105.103.55:9323 established. p2pool version: 1100 '9.4-45-g0981bdf'
2013-01-04 15:07:00.230000 Outgoing connection to peer 81.83.16.111:51333 established. p2pool version: 1000 '10.0-dirty'

Find 2 bad hacks.
This is on TRC nodes, will check other ones later.
It is so easy to keep things updated, why messing in code this way? It is always bad way...

Edit:
On BTC I found:

Code:

connection to peer 71.227.175.139:9333 established. p2pool version: 1000 '3.1-236-g2dffea0'
connection to peer 84.208.55.32:9333 established. p2pool version: 1100 '9.0-140-g5c1786a'
connection to peer 71.227.175.139:58337 established. p2pool version: 1100 '3.1-244-g0981bdf'

And few funny "version: 1100 'madness'" and lots of "unknowns".

On LTC side only some unknowns.

I can confirm this. 2 GB (RES) in 2-3 days and then I'm forced to restart.

650MB after 2 days, which platform are u on?

At 360mb after 2d 12hr on win 7 x64 (64-bit python, not executable).

i liked my 'crazed hookers' better

it does the unknown stuff on a ramdisk, i just changed what it said

oh, and someone earlier mentioned something about dropping incoming connections to 2... i think that's probably too low, but you do have to check which incoming (and outgoing) peers you have, since it seems like ones that are, say, 200ms+ are detrimental

oh, and more.. it's really easy to find fast peers with plenty of bandwidth in europe, but i've killed off a few incoming connections until i finally got a couple of 110-130ms connections in US, a 120ms in canada, and some 140ms or so in russia...   i have a decent connection latency wise, but i'm limited to jack and shit for upstream here in rural texas, so....    those seemed not to fluctuate much though

couldnt this be related to the increase in incoming connections?

my p2pool is at 300MB, limited to 10 outgoing and 6 incoming connections

my bitcoind is limited to 900 outgoing and 1000 total and it's at 4GB (well, ok, 3.5)

i have no port forwarding and now after 2.5 days uptime with 50 outgoing connection it only uses 611MB!
this is clearly not p2pools fault, its the python version (or py2exe) fault. maybe its even more horrible on winblows.

[AV]

If I have more than one network, I can:

1. In a one network run the bitcoind+p2pool and connect to it from all other computers.
2. Every network to run a separate bitcoind+p2pool.

As will be better?

50 outgoing connections?  all manual?

Only have 6 here, 1 of which is manual.

Maybe that's the source of your memory usage.

611MB isnt alot! i did modify some parts (for example the connection one to allow 50 outgoing cons) to reduce my stale, im atm at 0.21% stale.
someone else did confirm they have heavy RAM Usage, my guess is that they use winblows with py2exe and therefore it leaks or to be correct, the unused RAM isnt being freed.

I'm at 387MB on windows 7 using python x64.

so you use python and not py2exe? i think the py2exe is the faulty thing. one time allocated RAM cant be freed anymore maybe, this is usual behavior of such tools.
give it a try with py2exe, if u got the same "leak" (even it isnt a leak) we would know why this is happening.

Whats with our super crappy luck the past 5 days?  Does it have some thing to do with Stratum support in V10 and v11 released 5 days ago?

PS

I was wondering the same.  A bit too coincidental.  According to my local graph, 92% are on v11, the rest are on v9.  Something up with v11, or is the mix of v9/v11 causing problems?
