| Block download timeout base, expressed
| in multiples of the block interval (i.e.

|
| Additional block download timeout
| per parallel downloading peer (i.e.
| 5 min)
|
| Size of the “block download window”:
| how far ahead of our current height do
| we fetch?
|
| Larger windows tolerate larger download
| speed differences between peer, but
| increase the potential degree of disordering
| of blocks on disk (which make reindexing
| and pruning harder). We’ll probably
| want to make this a per-peer adaptive
| value at some point.

| Threshold for marking a node to be discouraged,

|
| How long to delay before querying DNS
| seeds
|
| If we have more than THRESHOLD entries
| in addrman, then it’s likely that we
| got those addresses from having previously
| connected to the P2P network, and that
| we’ll be able to successfully reconnect
| to the P2P network via contacting one
| of them. So if that’s the case, spend
| a little longer trying to connect to
| known peers before querying the
|
| DNS seeds.

|
| The soft limit of the address processing

|
| the maximum percentage of addresses
| from our addrman to return in response

|
| Maximum number of transactions to consider
| for requesting, per peer. It provides
| a reasonable DoS limit to per-peer memory
| usage spent on announcements, while
| covering peers continuously sending
| INVs at the maximum rate (by our own policy,
