new update of the pr with network limits
more debug options:
discarding downloaded blocks all or after given height.
trying to trigger the locking errors.
debug levels polished/tuned to sane values.
debug/logging improved.
warning: this pr should be correct code, but it could make
an existing (in master version) locking error appear more often.
it's a race on the list (map) of peers, e.g. between closing/deleting
them versus working on them in net-limit sleep in sending chunk.
the bug is not in this code/this pr, but in the master version.
the locking problem of master will be fixed in other pr.
problem is ub, and in practice is seems to usually cause program abort
(tested on debian stable with updated gcc). see --help for option
to add sleep to trigger the error faster.
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)
time_t is implementation-, architecture-, and apparently
compiler-dependent. As an example, on my machine if I build a 64-bit
binary, sizeof(time_t) is 8, but for a 32-bit binary it's 4. uint64_t
is therefore much more consistent for serialization, given that RPC
calls are potentially made between different machines.
