Adjusting Target Topology for Caffeine Scaling: 60 application subnets and a US subnet

Proposal 137341 Review | Lorimer :infinity: :dog_face: - CO.DELTA △

VOTE: YES

TLDR: Creates a new subnet that conforms to the IC Target Topology (see Decentralisation Stats) and with configuration that is consistent with other application subnets, as illustrated below (see here for a description of this table).

Decentralisation Stats

Subnet node distance stats (distance between any 2 nodes in the subnet) →

Smallest Distance Average Distance Largest Distance
PROPOSED 20.707 km 9190.373 km 18499.629 km

Subnet characteristic counts →

Continents Countries Data Centers Owners Node Providers Node Operator
PROPOSED 5 9 13 13 13 13

Largest number of nodes with the same characteristic (e.g. continent, country, data center, etc.) →

Continent Country Data Center Owner Node Provider Node Operator
PROPOSED 6 2 1 1 1 1

See here for acceptable limits → Motion 137147

The above subnet information is illustrated below, followed by a node reference table:

Map Description
  • Green marker represents an added node
  • Highlighted patches represent the country the above nodes sit within (red if the country is removed, green if added, otherwise grey)

You may wish to follow the CO.DELTA known neuron if you found this analysis helpful.

CO.DELTA △

We’re a verifiably decentralised collective who review IC deltas (changes applied by NNS proposals). We follow a common code:

  • Look: We observe the details and context of NNS proposals
  • Test: We test and verify the claims made by those proposals
  • Automate: We automate as much as possible by building increasingly sophisticated tools that streamline and strengthen the reviewal process.

Every vote cast by CO.DELTA is the result of consensus among diligent, skilled and experienced team members acting independently. The CO.DELTA neuron follows the vote of D-QUORUM on NNS topics that the CO.DELTA team does not handle directly. You can therefore follow CO.DELTA on all topics and rely on the highest quality of vote.


Note that this analysis involved data provided by the IC-API, which is not open source. I’m in the process of switching over to more verifiable sources of this sort of information for future proposal reviews. See here for related discussion.
