Description
-
Version: 2.2.1
-
Platform: Issue encountered on Ubuntu and MacOS
-
Subsystem: Circuit relay v2
Severity: High
Description:
The circuit relay stops accepting new reservations after 5-10 connections by peers. Rebooting the relay temporarily solves the issue. The problem seems to occur independently of whether the reconnecting peers are the same peer or different peers. While peers can always connect to the relay, they are unable to connect to each other through p2p-circuit.
Steps to reproduce the error:
- Start a circuit relay.
- Connect a few peers to the relay.
- Disconnect and reconnect 5-10 times.
- Eventually, peers will be unable to connect to each other through p2p-circuit on the relay.

Research direction
Start with the Circuit relay v2 implementation and reproduce the failure using the reported sequence: connect peers, disconnect and reconnect 5–10 times, then attempt p2p-circuit connections. Trace reservation handling after reconnects and verify that the relay continues accepting reservations and connecting peers without requiring a reboot.
