acmzero / rpi-router Goto Github PK

Due to all the enhancements and new features needed for the project, it is going to be moved to python, specially for the webserver exposure.

Currently the routing table is 'dirty' when starting/restarting the service, would be nice to just restart the service without manually cleaning.

For some reason when the system decides to renew DHCP or when turning off/on new interfaces, the latency will be marked as 9999. ensure there is always a default gateway for the interface prior calculating the latency.

When one interface is not stable "Comes and goes every X minutes" and it happens to be a fast connection when available, it will cause a lot of swaps interrupting the connection frequently.

A 'delay interface' is proposed to set a time where the interface can't be picked up for swapping.

The delay should be in incremental values when the connection is not available for example:

T Desc
1 eth1 not available
2 Set eth1 delay to 1m
3 eth1 not available
4 Set eth1 delay to 2m

In this case, base_delay is 1m and it will increment by 1 minute everytime the interface is not available, when the interface does came up available again it will reset the delay for the interface.

I think it is also better to put a limit_delay to 15m, for example, where no matter what, the delay can't exceed 15 minutes, this to avoid having to wait a lot when a connection does become available and reliable enough.

There should be a way to pause the service to avoid interrupting some services.
