Problem
We had previously added in a metric for tracking gossip push messages through the network in PR: #32725. However, this metric does not account for redundant pull requests.
Redundant Pull: A node receives a message via
PullResponseand then receives the same message viaPush.Redundant Pulls prevent us from accurately calculating how well messages are propagating via
Push.Summary of Changes
Add in metric to report when a node receives a NEW message via
PullResponse(gossip_crds_sample_pull).Add in a metric to report when a node receives a message via
Pushbut fails to insert (gossip_crds_sample_fail).Identifying redundant Pulls:
gossip_crds_sample_pullgossip_crds_sample_failSimulation Results
In a 100 node simulation, I saw Redundant Pulls occur somewhat frequently. This indicates Redundant Pulls may be the reason for the discrepancy between the simulated
