Any new info regarding this issue ? I'm running 2.3.5 and have the same issue.

@teodor-pripoae I've tried both 2.2.6 and 2.2.5 with "Constantinople fix" applied (#10214 and #10223, see ao-kovan-experiments branch) (otherwise it won't sync) and it seems like they produce/consume about the same amount of traffic per connected peer:

(the first spike is deploying 2.2.6 and the second is 2.2.5)

Are you sure it is not merely caused by more peer connections? Can't find any evidence it isn't.

[teodor-pripoae]

Hi @ordian . I did not change anything in my configuration since upgrading from 2.x to 2.2.10 and then to 2.3.5 and it currently consumes about 3mb/s traffic.

I will try building a docker image from your branch.
