Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, conducted a three-day test of a new server designed to enhance the backbone of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), hinting at potential deployment in the coming week. The test focused on peer connections, bandwidth usage, and latency levels, with encouraging results indicating minimal disconnection rates and secure bandwidth usage. A dashboard analysis revealed no latency exceeding 33 milliseconds following a full reset conducted five days prior. Schwartz emphasized that his findings demonstrated robust connection between XRPL nodes, minimizing potential disruption during network activity. The tested hub aims to eliminate sudden synchronization losses by facilitating continuous node connectivity. This crucial layer acts as an invisible support for the XRP Ledger’s reliability and performance.
