BP & RELAY pool architecture

I think BP is SPOF.

when if BP is dead, pool is not working.

So when I clustering 1 BP and 2 relays, I don’t care about relays dead.

Because there is only 1 BP most of fault will be created here.

I think most of pool operator will be clustering 2 BP(stand by) and 2 relays(or more).

Am I right? OR relay can connect 2 BP?

when if BP is dead, pool is not working.
Correct, u will not create blocks

So when I clustering 1 BP and 2 relays, I don’t care about relays dead.
As long at least one relay is up and running is fine… will be a problem if both relays will be down same time

Because there is only 1 BP most of fault will be created here.
True, but only if it goes down when u have blocks assigned, otherwise will not be a problem if it will crash from time to time (not desired but it can happens)

I think most of pool operator will be clustering 2 BP(stand by) and 2 relays(or more).
Not most of them… but indeed u need to be prepare and u need a bkp Producer in case the main will crash; u know… for a urgency case u can always start one of ur relays to work as a producer

Am I right? OR relay can connect 2 BP?
U can have x number of producers connected to the same relays

I actually think that most SPO’s go with 1 BP and n-relays. The relays are way more prone to failure due to the traffic on the network.
