Description

We have carried out a detailed study on the Republish and Expiration intervals for Provider Records in IPFS. Our results suggest that:

  • the Republish Interval can be increased to 22hrs (at least), and
  • the Expiration Interval can be increased to 48hrs.

Increasing those values will reduce significantly (by ~100%) the overhead of content providers, as they now have to republish their records at a much lower frequency (every 22hrs, compared to every 12hrs).

You can read the detailed study here: https://github.com/protocol/network-measurements/blob/master/results/rfm17-provider-record-liveness.md

The changes have been implemented in the following PRs:

The relevant libp2p specs have also been updated in this spec PR: libp2p/specs#451
