-Scaffolding and experiments for benchmarking Codex against the Deluge bittorrent client.
+Scaffolding and experiments for benchmarking Codex against the Deluge bittorrent client.
+This is general enough that it could be extended to benchmark Codex against any content
+distribution network, including IPFS.
+
+This experimental harness leans on Kubernetes. It is completely possible to run experiments
+locally, however, using [Minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/) (or Kind, or Docker Desktop).
+
+## Limits
+
+When running experiments locally in a Linux machine, you will bump onto a number of
+limitations. I have documented those here. I won't go into how to make those changes
+permanent within your system as there's significant variation across distributions.
+
+**ARP Cache.** The default size for the ARP cache is too small. You should bump it
+significantly, e.g.:
+
+```bash
+echo 4096 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh1
+echo 8192 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh2
+echo 16384 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh3
+``` 
+
+**Inotify.** Kubernetes seems to enjoy watching the filesystem, so 
+you should increase inotify limits across the board:
+
+```bash
+sudo sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_instances=2099999999
+sudo sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_queued_events=2099999999
+sudo sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=2099999999
+``` 
+
+**Kernel key retention service.* Kubernetes also places a large number of keys 
+within the kernel. Make sure you have enough room:
+
+```bash
+echo 10000 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/keys/maxkeys
+```
