When the boost ioservice is stopped, pending work notifications
will not happen. This includes deadline timers, which would
otherwise time out the now cancelled I/O operations. When this
happens just after starting a new connect operation, this can
leave that operations in a state where it won't receive either
the completion notification nor a timeout, causing a hang.
This is fixed by keeping a list of connections corresponding
to the connect operations, and cancelling them before stopping
the boost ioservice.
Note that the list of these connections can grow unbounded, as
they're never cleaned up. Cleaning them up would involve
working out which connections do not have any pending work,
and it's not quite clear yet how to go about this.
Update of the PR with network limits
works very well for all speeds
(but remember that low download speed can stop upload
because we then slow down downloading of blockchain
requests too)
more debug options
fixed pedantic warnings in our code
should work again on Mac OS X and FreeBSD
fixed warning about size_t
tested on Debian, Ubuntu, Windows(testing now)
TCP options and ToS (QoS) flag
FIXED peer number limit
FIXED some spikes in ingress/download
FIXED problems when other up and down limit
commands and options for network limiting
works very well e.g. for 50 KiB/sec up and down
ToS (QoS) flag
peer number limit
TODO some spikes in ingress/download
TODO problems when other up and down limit
added "otshell utils" - simple logging (with colors, text files channels)
