Hello All!
I have a lot of downlinks now (well over 30) and some create issues in that they
some time reject files and/or mail packets and the mbse system keeps trying to
resend - a LOT of times immediately after a reject in that it attempts to send
each one in the flo file then immediately retries them, possibly as much as 30
times - no I have not counted this.
This is chewing up bandwidth and time that may prevent other outbound calls so
questions arise aimed at the active programmers :) :
1. Can we change the number of times that when a file/packet is rejected (which
I am guessing is caused because lack of disk space on the receivers system or it
has been sent and received before) also see Q 2 so can sysop restrict
number of time on hold files/packets are retried during a poll or crash, say to
total of 2.
2. Restrict the attempt count to a specified defined sysop number as set up by
mbsetup param.
3. Cause of 1 could be that any that are accepted earlier are not being removed
from the .?LO file so can all files received and accepted be removed from the
.?LO file possibly in real time (after the file is sent) so this will reduce the
number of failures and retries.
4. For all Polls and Crash traffic types limit by sysop defined value number of
attempts which is currently set as 30 to again by sysop values to say time
between retries also as a sysop defined values such as 5 minutes for the 1st, 10
for the second and 60 for any remaining so for example with it set to 5 retries
with 5, 10 and 60 and after the specified count readjust the poll/crash
to Hold (by changing the flo file name back to .hlo.
All retries to go to the back of the polling/crash queue so that the retries
only occur after all others have been processed in the sequence [ this might be
more difficult to implement as mbse can get new one's added during the process
].
Thanks for considering any of the above suggestions although some of these ideas
may well be easy than the others but the total retry for polls and crash that
fail to connect is the most important as the time interval is way too short.
