Thank you for your helpful reply. I would like to share my observations.
EXPERIMENT:
I signed 1000 transactions and sent all of the signed transactions to the network at one time using Algod and kmd. I did this 30 times. My code to do this is Algorand_stress_tester/stress_tester/worker.py at main · moludesmaili/Algorand_stress_tester · GitHub
OBSERVATION:
Given a transaction burst size of 1000, I find that in 80% of the cases the 1000 transactions are spread across two blocks. I observe this by using block explorer to find the transaction. Why are the transactions from a relatively small burst spread across two blocks when the block is nowhere near full in any case?
I can observe the same phenomenon for each smaller burst sizes. Is the bust being “spread out” in time due to an inherent bottleneck or some policy (e.g., enforced by a rate limiter)? If some, a pointer to the documentation would be helpful.
Thank you again.
Regards,
