Operational configurations of a consensus authority.

All fields should tolerate inconsistencies among authorities, without affecting safety of the protocol. Otherwise, they need to be part of Sui protocol config or epoch state on-chain.

NOTE: fields with default values are specified in the serde default functions. Most operators should not need to specify any field, except db_path.

Fields

db_path: PathBuf

Path to consensus DB for this epoch. Required when initializing consensus. This is calculated based on user configuration for base directory.

leader_timeout: Duration

Time to wait for parent round leader before sealing a block, from when parent round has a quorum.

min_round_delay: Duration

Minimum delay between rounds, to avoid generating too many rounds when latency is low. This is especially necessary for tests running locally. If setting a non-default value, it should be set low enough to avoid reducing round rate and increasing latency in realistic and distributed configurations.

max_forward_time_drift: Duration

Maximum forward time drift (how far in future) allowed for received blocks.

max_blocks_per_sync: usize

Max number of blocks to fetch per block sync request. Block sync requests have very short (~2s) timeouts. So this value should be limited to allow the requests to finish on hosts with good network with this timeout. Usually a host sends 14-16 blocks per sec to a peer, so sending 32 blocks in 2 seconds should be reasonable.

max_blocks_per_fetch: usize

Max number of blocks to fetch per commit sync request.

sync_last_known_own_block_timeout: Duration

Time to wait during node start up until the node has synced the last proposed block via the network peers. When set to 0 the sync mechanism is disabled. This property is meant to be used for amnesia recovery.

round_prober_interval_ms: u64

Interval in milliseconds to probe highest received rounds of peers.

round_prober_request_timeout_ms: u64

Timeout in milliseconds for a round prober request.

propagation_delay_stop_proposal_threshold: u32

Proposing new block is stopped when the propagation delay is greater than this threshold. Propagation delay is the difference between the round of the last proposed block and the the highest round from this authority that is received by all validators in a quorum.

dag_state_cached_rounds: u32

The number of rounds of blocks to be kept in the Dag state cache per authority. The larger the number the more the blocks that will be kept in memory allowing minimising any potential disk access. Value should be at minimum 50 rounds to ensure node performance, but being too large can be expensive in memory usage.

commit_sync_parallel_fetches: usize

commit_sync_batch_size: u32

commit_sync_batches_ahead: usize

anemo: AnemoParameters

Anemo network settings.

tonic: TonicParameters

Tonic network settings.
