Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
During the Blockchain Architecture meeting on June 9th, @wileyj, @obycode, and @igorsyl discussed the hard-coded limit on the number of peer nodes the stacks-node allows inbound connections for. This limit could be contributing to poor peer network connectivity.
Describe the solution you'd like
We discussed that Stacks Foundation and Hiro would be able to increase the limit effectively running super-connected nodes. This task aims to identify the hard-coded value and make it configurable.
Describe alternatives you've considered
@wileyj is working on many initiatives to improve peer network connectivity.
