Hi Guys,
We had a couple of issues last week regarding gateways.
-
UDP Gateways: It’s not as simple as someone mentioned here. UDP Load balancing is actually quite difficult. The number of gateways was so high that our server ran out of socket connections and we had to update kernel settings. As a matter of fact, debugging UDP traffic is way more difficult than any TCP based traffic.
-
Basic Station: The above-mentioned issue with the machine caused our bridge to break and required a little bit of work before coming online again.
We’re always looking to improve the experience with gateways which is one of the most vital bottlenecks of the LoRaWAN ecosystem. Over the course of the next couple of weeks, we’ll be replacing our temporary bridge with a high performant native bridge, which is tested to be more stable.
And so, I’d like to streamline discussions on TTIGs so that new comers can easily navigate this.
Here’s how I propose to do it:
- TTIG not connected: Check StatusPage(https://status.thethings.network/), Slack (Support/Ops) and report it there (if not already reported).
- Check the docs for Gateway Info (https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/gateways/thethingsindoor/), a new FAQ section will be added soon.
- Performance related issues; report here TTIG Performance Discussion
I’m going to close this thread since it has almost 500 comments on a range of different topics.
Regards,
Krishna
PS: I saw that some of you are experiencing issues, I’ll try my best to check it but I can’t guarantee I can since it’s Sunday.
