changelog: improve description of smart dialing #2342
Conversation

Do you want to mention the two metrics for tracking smart dialing impact? |
Done. |
| Our measurements on the IPFS network show that for >90% of established libp2p connections, the first connection attempt succeeds, | ||
| leading a dramatic decrease in the number of aborted connection attempts. |

Can we put numbers to this to inform how dramatic this was? For example, I think the "Cancel fraction" we had in #2260 (comment) was useful.
I'm thinking about what we'd say in a presentation or all hands. Is this reducing the number of "wasted" connections by 50%, 75%, etc.

I ran the numbers again for master branch. This is reducing the number of "wasted" connections by 50%.
With no smart dialing 60% of all connection attempts are cancelled. With smart dialing turned on 30% of all connection attempts are cancelled.

We can report numbers here, or on the next release when we have black hole detection (or both). I expect the numbers to be significantly better when we have that, as there are quite a few dual stack hosts in the network.

We will report the exact numbers when we turn smart dialing on by default.
