#!/usr/bin/env python

# Usage:
#
# Regenerate the list:
# scripts/maint/updateFallbackDirs.py > src/app/config/fallback_dirs.inc 2> fallback_dirs.log
#
# Check the existing list:
# scripts/maint/updateFallbackDirs.py check_existing > fallback_dirs.inc.ok 2> fallback_dirs.log
# mv fallback_dirs.inc.ok src/app/config/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, stem, and potentially other python packages.
# Optionally uses ipaddress (python 3 builtin) or py2-ipaddress (package)
# for netblock analysis.
#
# Then read the logs to make sure the fallbacks aren't dominated by a single
# netblock or port.

## Eligibility Settings

# Require fallbacks to have the same address and port for a set amount of time
# We used to have this at 1 week, but that caused many fallback failures, which
# meant that we had to rebuild the list more often. We want fallbacks to be
# stable for 2 years, so we set it to a few months.
#
# If a relay changes address or port, that's it, it's not useful any more,
# because clients can't find it
ADDRESS_AND_PORT_STABLE_DAYS = 90
# We ignore relays that have been down for more than this period

# Mirrors that are down half the time are still useful half the time

# For comparison:
#  - We try to limit guard and exit operators to 5% of the network

## Fallback Bandwidth Requirements

# Any fallback with the Exit flag has its bandwidth multiplied 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 10 kilobytes per second of traffic
# Make sure they can support fifty times the expected extra load
#
# We convert this to a consensus weight before applying the filter,
# because all the bandwidth amounts are specified by the relay
MIN_BANDWIDTH = 50.0 * 10.0 * 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
