How the simulation is done

nWaku version: v0.36.0-rc.0

task: TBA

Summary:

• 3k node tests are not very reliable. It’s just too much for the lab to handle.
  • We are considering ways to run experiments in a more stable and less time consuming way.
• The lightpush protocol seems to be using floodsub when forwarding lightpush requests instead of only forwarding to gossipsub peers. We should investigate the impact of this to see if it’s a good idea.

Additional Notes:

• Logging every disc5 is excessive
