Ingress Announce Control
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
On public interfaces, where anyone may connect and announce new destinations,
|
||||
it can be useful to control the rate at which new announces ingress.
|
||||
|
||||
If a large influx of annonuces for newly created or previously unknown destinations
|
||||
occur, Reticulum will place these announces on hold, so that announce traffic
|
||||
for known and previously established destinations can continue to be processed
|
||||
without interruptions.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Reticulum will handle this automatically, and ingress annonuce
|
||||
control will be enabled on interface where it is sensible to do so. It should
|
||||
generally not be neccessary to modify the ingress control configuration,
|
||||
but all the parameters are exposed for configuration if needed.
|
||||
|
||||
* | The ``ingress_control`` option tells Reticulum whether or not
|
||||
to enable announce ingress control on the interface. Defaults to
|
||||
``True``.
|
||||
|
||||
* | The ``ic_new_time`` option configures how long (in seconds) an
|
||||
interface is considered newly spawned. Defaults to ``2*60*60`` seconds. This
|
||||
option is useful on publicly accessible interfaces that spawn new
|
||||
sub-interfaces when a new client connects.
|
||||
|
||||
* | The ``ic_burst_freq_new`` option sets the maximum annonuce ingress
|
||||
frequency for newly spawned interfaces. Defaults to ``3.5``
|
||||
announces per second.
|
||||
|
||||
* | The ``ic_burst_freq`` option sets the maximum annonuce ingress
|
||||
frequency for other interfaces. Defaults to ``12`` announces
|
||||
per second.
|
||||
|
||||
*If an interface exceeds its burst frequency, incoming announces
|
||||
for unknown destinations will be temporarily held in a queue, and
|
||||
not processed until later.*
|
||||
|
||||
* | The ``ic_max_held_announces`` option sets the maximum amount of
|
||||
unique announces that will be held in the queue. Any additional
|
||||
unique announces will be dropped. Defaults to ``256`` announces.
|
||||
|
||||
* | The ``ic_burst_hold`` option sets how much time (in seconds) must
|
||||
pass after the burst frequency drops below its threshold, for the
|
||||
announce burst to be considered cleared. Defaults to ``60``
|
||||
seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
* | The ``ic_burst_penalty`` option sets how much time (in seconds) must
|
||||
pass after the burst is considered cleared, before held announces can
|
||||
start being released from the queue. Defaults to ``5*60``
|
||||
seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
* | The ``ic_held_release_interval`` option sets how much time (in seconds)
|
||||
must pass between releasing each held announce from the queue. Defaults
|
||||
to ``30`` seconds.
