Under the same network bandwidth, larger messages take longer to be fully transmitted between peers. Since a peer can only detect a message duplicate after downloading it completely, the likelihood of receiving duplicates increases with message size.
This heatmap shows how the size of the messages in one topic relates to the number of duplicates that our Hermes node received of them on the selected day. Each cell shows the number of unique messages with this size and this number of duplicates. The x-axis groups the message size in steps of 20 kB (1 kB = 1,024 bytes). The y-axis shows the number of duplicates: the row 2-3 holds the messages with 2 duplicates. The menu selects the topic, and the date picker selects the day.
