# Usage: scripts/maint/updateFallbackDirs.py > src/or/fallback_dirs.inc
#
# This script should be run from a stable, reliable network connection,
# with no other network activity (and not over tor).
# If this is not possible, please disable:
# PERFORM_IPV4_DIRPORT_CHECKS and PERFORM_IPV6_DIRPORT_CHECKS
#
# Needs dateutil (and potentially other python packages)
# Needs stem available in your PYTHONPATH, or just ln -s ../stem/stem .
# Optionally uses ipaddress (python 3 builtin) or py2-ipaddress (package)
# for netblock analysis, in PYTHONPATH, or just
# ln -s ../py2-ipaddress-3.4.1/ipaddress.py .
#
# Then read the logs to make sure the fallbacks aren't dominated by a single
# netblock or port

PERFORM_IPV4_DIRPORT_CHECKS = False if OUTPUT_CANDIDATES else True

# Perform DirPort checks over IPv6?
# If you know IPv6 works for you, set this to True
# This will exclude IPv6 relays without an IPv6 DirPort configured
# So it's best left at False until #18394 is implemented

# Output fallback name, flags, and ContactInfo in a C comment?

# Output matching ContactInfo in fallbacks list or the blacklist?
# Useful if you're trying to contact operators

## OnionOO Settings

#ONIONOO = 'https://onionoo.thecthulhu.com/'

# Don't bother going out to the Internet, just use the files available locally,
# even if they're very old
LOCAL_FILES_ONLY = False

## Whitelist / Blacklist Filter Settings

# The whitelist contains entries that are included if all attributes match
# (IPv4, dirport, orport, id, and optionally IPv6 and IPv6 orport)
# The blacklist contains (partial) entries that are excluded if any
# sufficiently specific group of attributes matches:
# IPv4 & DirPort
# IPv4 & ORPort
# ID
# IPv6 & DirPort
# IPv6 & IPv6 ORPort
# If neither port is included in the blacklist, the entire IP address is
# blacklisted.

# What happens to entries in neither list?
# When True, they are included, when False, they are excluded
INCLUDE_UNLISTED_ENTRIES = True if OUTPUT_CANDIDATES else False

## Eligibility Settings

# Reduced due to a bug in tor where a relay submits a 0 DirPort when restarted
# This causes OnionOO to (correctly) reset its stability timer
# This issue will be fixed in 0.2.7.7 and 0.2.8.2
# Until then, the CUTOFFs below ensure a decent level of stability.
ADDRESS_AND_PORT_STABLE_DAYS = 7
# What time-weighted-fraction of these flags must FallbackDirs
# Equal or Exceed?
CUTOFF_RUNNING = .95
CUTOFF_V2DIR = .95
CUTOFF_GUARD = .95
# What time-weighted-fraction of these flags must FallbackDirs
# Equal or Fall Under?
# .00 means no bad exits
PERMITTED_BADEXIT = .00

# older entries' weights are adjusted with ALPHA^(age in days)
AGE_ALPHA = 0.99

# this factor is used to scale OnionOO entries to [0,1]
ONIONOO_SCALE_ONE = 999.

## Fallback Count Limits

# The target for these parameters is 20% of the guards in the network
# This is around 200 as of October 2015
_FB_POG = 0.2
FALLBACK_PROPORTION_OF_GUARDS = None if OUTPUT_CANDIDATES else _FB_POG

# Limit the number of fallbacks (eliminating lowest by advertised bandwidth)
MAX_FALLBACK_COUNT = None if OUTPUT_CANDIDATES else 100
# Emit a C #error if the number of fallbacks is below
MIN_FALLBACK_COUNT = 100

## Fallback Bandwidth Requirements

# Any fallback with the Exit flag has its bandwidth multipled by this fraction
# to make sure we aren't further overloading exits
# (Set to 1.0, because we asked that only lightly loaded exits opt-in,
# and the extra load really isn't that much for large relays.)
EXIT_BANDWIDTH_FRACTION = 1.0

# If a single fallback's bandwidth is too low, it's pointless adding it
# We expect fallbacks to handle an extra 30 kilobytes per second of traffic
# Make sure they can support a hundred times the expected extra load
# (Use 102.4 to make it come out nicely in MB/s)
# We convert this to a consensus weight before applying the filter,
# because all the bandwidth amounts are specified by the relay
MIN_BANDWIDTH = 102.4 * 30.0 * 1024.0

# Clients will time out after 30 seconds trying to download a consensus
# So allow fallback directories half that to deliver a consensus
# The exact download times might change based on the network connection
# running this script, but only by a few seconds
# There is also about a second of python overhead
CONSENSUS_DOWNLOAD_SPEED_MAX = 15.0
# If the relay fails a consensus check, retry the download
# This avoids delisting a relay due to transient network conditions
CONSENSUS_DOWNLOAD_RETRY = True

## Fallback Weights for Client Selection

# All fallback weights are equal, and set to the value below
# Authorities are weighted 1.0 by default
# Clients use these weights to select fallbacks and authorities at random
# If there are 100 fallbacks and 9 authorities:
#  - each fallback is chosen with probability 10.0/(10.0*100 + 1.0*9) ~= 0.99%
#  - each authority is chosen with probability 1.0/(10.0*100 + 1.0*9) ~= 0.09%
# A client choosing a bootstrap directory server will choose a fallback for
# 10.0/(10.0*100 + 1.0*9) * 100 = 99.1% of attempts, and an authority for
# 1.0/(10.0*100 + 1.0*9) * 9 = 0.9% of attempts.
# (This disregards the bootstrap schedules, where clients start by choosing
# from fallbacks & authoritites, then later choose from only authorities.)
FALLBACK_OUTPUT_WEIGHT = 10.0
