Then it broadcasts its live sync packer: packet type SYNC_LIVE [ 0x0008 0x14 info_hash 0x001c 0x04 peer's ipv4 address 0x0020 0x02 peer's port 0x0024 0x02 peer flags v1 ( SEEDING = 0x80, COMPLETE = 0x40, STOPPED = 0x20 ) ]* ######## ######## SCRAPE SYNC PROTOCOL ######## ######## Each tracker instance SHOULD broadcast a beacon once in every 5 minutes after running at least 30 minutes: packet type SYNC_SCRAPE_BEACON [ 0x0008 0x08 amount of torrents served ] If a tracker instance receives a beacon from another instance that has more than twice its torrent count, it asks for a scrape. It must wait for at least 5 + 1 minutes in order to inspect beacons from all tracker instances and chose the one with most torrents. If it sees a SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL within that time frame, it's likely, that another scrape sync is going on. So one tracker instance MUST NOT react to beacons within 5 minutes of last seeing a SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL packet. After a scrape sync all tracker instances have updated their torrents, so an instance in a "want inquire" state should wait for the next round of beacons to chose the tracker with most data again. packet type SYNC_SCRAPE_INQUIRE [ 0x0008 0x04 id of tracker instance to inquire ] The inquired tracker instance answers with as many scrape tell packets it needs to deliver stats about all its torrents packet type SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL [ 0x0008 0x14 info_hash 0x001c 0x04 base offset (i.e. when was it last announced, in minutes) 0x0020 0x08 downloaded count ]* Each tracker instance that receives a scrape tell, looks up each torrent and compares downloaded count with its own counter. It can send out its own scrape tell packets, if it knows more. */ #ifdef WANT_SYNC_LIVE #define LIVESYNC_PORT 9696 void livesync_init(); void livesync_deinit(); /* Join multicast group for listening and create sending socket */ void livesync_bind_mcast( char *ip, uint16_t port ); /* Inform live sync about whats going on. */ void livesync_tell( ot_hash * const info_hash, const ot_peer * const peer ); /* Tickle the live sync module from time to time, so no events get stuck when there's not enough traffic to fill udp packets fast enough */ void livesync_ticker( ); /* Handle an incoming live sync packet */ void handle_livesync( const int64 serversocket ); #else /* If no syncing is required, save calling code from #ifdef constructions */ #define livesync_deinit() #define livesync_init() #define livesync_ticker() #define handle_livesync(a) #endif #endif
