changed the maximum numbers of outbound connection from 8 to 16. This is do to the quality of the internet.

NACK, with a declining number of nodes we shouldn't put more pressure on them. |
|
NACK at least without any analysis of impact on block propagation and bandwidth usage. Nodes relay (I believe) to all connections concurrently, so they'd be spreading upstream bandwidth even more thinly with this patch. |
|
Can you provide evidence how this would benefit the network? Also, there is a limited number of full nodes, thus a limited number of available inbound connections. What would happen, if there is a sudden demand (higher than the offered) number of inbound connections? |
|
NACK See discussion in #6014 for background as to why increasing the max outbound connections to > 8 isn't a good idea. |
|
NACK. I see no convincing evidence that this "benefits the network". At the very least you will have to precisely describe what you mean by "stronger connections". Stronger against what? |

This is do to the general quality of the internet.
And i think this would benefit the network, and results in stronger connections from servers running the node.
