## Announce Interval Variation Middleware
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package provides the announce middleware `varinterval` which randomizes the announce interval.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Functionality
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This middleware will choose random announces and modify the `interval` and `min_interval` fields.
|
||
|
|
A random number of seconds will be added to the `interval` field and, if desired, also to the `min_interval` field.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that if a response is picked for modification and `min_interval` should be changed as well, both `interval` and `min_interval` will be modified by the same amount.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Use Case
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use this middleware to avoid recurring load spikes on the tracker.
|
||
|
|
By randomizing the announce interval, load spikes will flatten out after a few cycles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This middleware provides the following parameters for configuration:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `modify_response_probability` (float, >0, <= 1) indicates the probability by which a response will be augmented with random peers.
|
||
|
|
- `max_increase_delta` (int, >0) sets an upper boundary (inclusive) for the amount of seconds added.
|
||
|
|
- `modify_min_interval` (boolean) whether to modify the `min_interval` field as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An example config might look like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chihaya:
|
||
|
|
tracker:
|
||
|
|
announce_middleware:
|
||
|
|
- name: varinterval
|
||
|
|
config:
|
||
|
|
modify_response_probability: 0.2
|
||
|
|
max_increase_delta: 60
|
||
|
|
modify_min_interval: true
|
