Ethereum Network Struggles With Missed Slots, bloXroute and Lighthouse In Debate

Earlier this week, the Ethereum network experienced a significant surge in missed slots, predominantly originating from blocks relayed by bloXroute relays. Investigations revealed that while the bloXroute relays effectively published blocks and blobs, the rapid propagation of blocks through the BloXroute Distributed Network (BDN) stood in contrast with the slower propagation of blobs via peer-to-peer (p2p) channels. This discrepancy highlighted a specific Client (CL) behavior, leading to client rejection of blocks and subsequent missed slots.
