    <p>Thanks for your answers. I should check the JIRA first next time
      :)  It is unfortunate not to have the histogram above 32, are
      there other means to get insight in that data?</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>In the  mean time I found in the code that peer_credits_hiw must
      be between peer_credits/2 and (peer_credits-1).That clarifies that
      part assuming it doesn't affect rpc limits.<br>
