Questions regarding operation in public networks

Q: Which amount of memory is currently supported by the java software? A: This will depend on your system environment: If you use 32-bit references, your heap is limited to 32 GB. If you are using 64-bit references, the size will be limited by your OS Is a good practice to limit JVM heap size to fit inside one NUMA region (Around 1 TB on the bigger machines). If its JVM spans NUMA regions, GC will take much longer.

Q: What performance does a processor need to have in order to run the node software? A: At least 2 core CPUs are required to run a full node, at the minimum performance. If you are running on a private environment, with fewer transactions, then you will be fine with 4 CPU cores. So, the amount of network requests determines the CPU performance required to run the nodes. You will need to monitor your machine to decide the best requirements. In the PUBLIC NETWORK, TRON recommends at least 64CPU cores machine for a Super Representative to be approved.

Q: What ports should be opened to be externally accessible? A: 18888 and 50051 are the two default ports.

Q: What amount of data traffic can I expect? Will the data to be spread out to many hosts or will it be enough to just provide several nodes myself? A: The network traffic will depend on the number of transactions. For a fast reference you could use the number of 200Bytes per transaction. Current network specification is 2000TPS (Transactions per second).

Q: Upon successful token issuance, how do I change the status from “not started yet” to “participate”? A: It is not possible to change the start date after you issue a token. You will need to wait for the time and date you have specified during creation. One can only change URL and Description after a token is created.
