const VERIFIER_BUFFER_BOUND: usize = 5;
Expand description
The bound for the chain verifier and transaction verifier buffers.
We choose the verifier buffer bound based on the maximum number of concurrent verifier users, to avoid contention:
- the
ChainSync
block download and verify stream - the
Inbound
block download and verify stream - the
Mempool
transaction download and verify stream - a block miner component, which we might add in future, and
- 1 extra slot to avoid contention.
We deliberately add extra slots, because they only cost a small amount of memory, but missing slots can significantly slow down Zebra.
