`limits.routingMaxSize` is documented as "Number of routing table entries
before we start pruning", but the implementation diverges from this.
DELETE FROM routing WHERE node <> ?1 AND rowid IN
(SELECT rowid FROM routing WHERE timestamp < ?2 ORDER BY timestamp LIMIT ?3)
`?2` is `now - routingMaxAge`. So if nothing is older than routingMaxAge,
nothing is deleted, however far over routingMaxSize the table has grown. On a
seed following a busy network, entries are refreshed by gossip faster than
they age out, and the cap is never reachable.
For example, on a permissive node with routingMaxSize=1000, routingMaxAge=7d,
I observed:
routing rows 94,254
older than routingMaxAge, ie. prunable 16
Dropping routingMaxAge to 1 day cleared the backlog the 7-day setting had
accumulated -- from 94,254 down to 82,400 rows -- but then stopped, with
8 rows prunable and the table still ... 82x over the cap. The `routing` table
size is therefore decided by arrival rate; the configured max size has no
effect on it.
Split the two evictions so each does what its name says:
- size eviction removes the oldest entries down to `routingMaxSize`,
regardless of age;
- age eviction then removes anything still older than
`routingMaxAge`.
Size runs first: it takes the oldest rows, so the age pass only fires when
the table was near its limit.

Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack
Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful
peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a
full implementation of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line
interface (rad) and network daemon (radicle-node).
Radicle was designed to be a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty and freedom.
See the Radicle home page for general information, and the Zulip chat to talk to the project.
See the Protocol Guide for an in-depth description of how Radicle works.
