[Spread-users] Token Message

[Yuval Lifshitz]

I have a spread network with two segments, one with
two daemons and one with one.
All is working fine except that for each message I
send through spread there are about 25 extra messages
sent between the daemons. These are small token
messages (most are token hurry) messages, but this 25
factor (with my high rate of messages) flood my
network.

Spread is compiled with:
Token_timeout.sec  =  20
Hurry_timeout.sec  =   6
in the wide configuration the daemons use.
Is that a known problem or configuration problem?

I tried to investigate the code and saw that the token
messages is sent in many places (sometimes twice in
the same place), so I tried to impose the
"Hurry_timeout" in an ugly way in the code, in
network.c I added:

#include <sys/time.h>
ext	sp_time		Hurry_timeout;

int	Net_send_token( sys_scatter *scat )
{
	struct timeval now = {0 ,0};
	static struct timeval last = {0 ,0};
	token_header	*token_ptr;
	int		ret;

	gettimeofday(&now, NULL);
	
	if (now.tv_sec - last.tv_sec < Hurry_timeout.sec)
	{
                 printf("too much tokens, time diff
from last is: %ld\n", now.tv_sec - last.tv_sec);
		return 0;
	}
	
	last.tv_sec = now.tv_sec;
...

Is that bad as I think it is?

Yuval.
