Nym Socks5 Client Parallel Requests

General

Hi Everyone,

So I am new to the Nym community and really like the idea behind it! I am trying to integrate it into my application by using the Socks5 Client. My application needs to send a couple of requests with around 0.5 MBs of data. When sending one request, it takes around 15 seconds, but when I am trying to send 5 parallel requests, it takes around 60 seconds. Why is the difference so big ? It is not processing the requests in parallel ?

Thanks!

Thanks for building with Nym @Metteolsson :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Let me get an expert to help you out with this! We’ll get back here soon.

@Metteolsson I would have to see your code if there is something public. It might be the lack of parallel requests, it might also be just your code running up against the poisson rate of the client (see Message Queue - Nym docs for a bit more here) - the rate at which the client is slotting packets into the queue to send through the mixnet.

Some of the currently-in-R&D protocol work will change this, we’re hoping to have a small devnet of this in the near future, but no strict timeline yet.
