p2p: Increase tx relay rate
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In the presence of smaller transactions on the network, blocks can sustain a
higher relay rate than 7tx/second. In this event, the per-peer inventory queues
can grow too large.

This commit bumps the rate up to 14 tx/s (for inbound peers), increasing the
safety margin by a factor of 2.

Outbound peers continue to receive relayed transactions at 2.5x the rate of
inbound peers, for a rate of 35tx/second.
