number the interface got, you have to call devname() on the device file

The semantics are different from the way Linux's /dev/tun works though.
In particular, after closing the device, the interface will continue to exist.
Restarting tincd would cause the old interface to stay around, and a new
one to be created. One could add a tinc-down script with the following line:

never changes. Even on servers, /etc/resolv.conf might be a dynamically

10 years agoConfigure minimum reconnect timeouts.
Tomislav Čohar [Tue, 26 Aug 2014 22:25:12 +0000 (00:25 +0200)]
Configure minimum reconnect timeouts.

Enable the configuration of minimum reconnect timeout via a
configuration directive "MinTimeout". This functionality is missing in
the default tinc stable distribution. The minimum timeout is, in code,
set to 0 seconds. This patch makes it configurable.

You might ask yourself why is that needed at all ?

Well, we've been using tinc with success for quite some time in a cross DC
setup. Tinc is used to create a virtual network switch and to connect our
distributed database nodes into a virtual local network. Our database nodes
exchange information, synchronize and do failover over the created
tinc-backed network.

Every now and then, when a node has a physical networking issue and is
unreachable by some or all neighboring nodes, tinc will relay traffic over
reachable neighboring nodes and thus save our cluster. But, sometimes,
especially when BGP route changes take place, minor outages of physical
connectivity towards some nodes may cause tinc to become as reliable as
packet-loss is :).

Tinc is fast, it can and does re-establish a lost connection in a jiffy,
but it cannot detect the reason for the loss of the connection. A
re-established connection might last for a few seconds (ping timeout) to
get lost again just because the packet loss is huge at that time. Then it
reconnects again and the story repeats itself.

This process keeps repeating until the physical network stabilizes. Packet
loss on a physical link means disaster in a database replication scenario.
In such cases it is better for tinc to remain disconnected from the
unreachable/destabilized nodes for some time and relay traffic over the
reachable (unaffected) nodes then to use an unreliable route.

This patch enables us to slow down the re-connection process and eliminate
application level issues we had.
