Hi, I am interested in the update from the maximum throughput since we have segwit. Assuming average 250 bytes tx, the often mentioned number is a max throughput of 7 tx/s before segwit. What is it now?


Some academic papers say 11tx/s but I don't remember seeing any justification of the final estimations.


I am aware of [this explanation](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/59408/with-100-segwit-transactions-what-would-be-the-max-number-of-transaction-confi) and [this one](https://medium.com/@jimmysong/understanding-segwit-block-size-fd901b87c9d4)


Thanks
