Improving consensus critical gossiping protocols
If we use the default parameters using the v2 mempool in testground tests results in the tests not finishing. After increasing the
MaxGossipDelay
(to 20-30 seconds, although lower values have not been tried and could work), the tests reliably finish. More information is needed to properly debug this, however looking at the logs we see that nodes are unable to find peers. When this occurs, the tests often reach a low height and stops being able to reach consensus.More data should be collected to determine the exact cause of such a bug, specifically data around peering. atm, testground doesn't have access to the standard metrics so we've resorted to using the tracer.
