Subject: Life probability
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
This text describes a change to the Npv7.
|
|
It will be included in the final documentation, so feel free to correct it.
|
|
But if you want to change the system here described, please contact us first.
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Statistically the probability of a node to continue to stay up is related to
|
|
its uptime, for example if the node X has an uptime of 30 seconds and the node Y of
|
|
1200 seconds, then it is more probable that the node Y will continue to stay
|
|
up.
|
|
|
|
For this reason we give higher credits to older nodes/gnodes, this means that
|
|
in a multipath route we prefer to don't use very young nodes as main gateways.
|
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
A
|
|
/ \
|
|
L K
|
|
\ /
|
|
N
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Let's say K has an uptime of 600 seconds and L of 200.
|
|
The node N, to reach A, will prefer the node K.
|
|
|
|
=== Implementation ===
|
|
|
|
In order to implement this we penalize the new nodes/gnodes by increasing
|
|
their rtt, in this way they will be considered as slow links.
|
|
|
|
We can do this only for new nodes/gnodes 'cause we cannot trust the uptime
|
|
value given by a node, but we can know for sure if that node is completely
|
|
new.
|
|
|
|
When the next qspn_round updates the routes the penality is removed.
|
|
|
|
Another system would be counting the number of qspn_rounds the nodes took part
|
|
in.
|
|
If it has only partecipated in < 3 rounds it is considered young.
