Bitcoin Core PR #28463 proposes higher default peer limits
Bitcoin Core PR #28463 proposes raising the default `-maxconnections` from 125 to 200 and adding a peer-type reservation: 50% of inbound slots reserved for transaction-relaying peers.
Mechanically, this is a node P2P connection-default change. The reservation matters because the PR is not just increasing capacity for block-relay-only peers; it explicitly keeps part of inbound capacity available for peers that relay transactions.
Caveat: the PR is still open, and the supported scope is connection management / peer-type balancing. It does not change consensus rules, transaction validation, or by itself demonstrate protocol-wide network-capacity gains.
