* If the transaction can't be queued, recover to the open ledger once,
and drop it on the next attempt.
* New result codes for transactions that can not queue.
* Add minimum queue size.
* Remove the obsolete and incorrect SF_RETRY flag.
* fix#2215
Add more test coverage for ServerHandlerImp.cpp. Ensure limit parameter
is propagated from parsed object to in-memory config.
Release Notes
-------------
This fixes a bug whereby the limit parameter on a port configuration was
ignored.
The job queue can automatically tune the number of threads that
it creates based on the number of processors or processor cores
that are available.
The existing tuning was very conservative, limiting the maximum
number of threads to only 6.
Adjust the new algorithm to allow a larger number of threads and
allow server administrators to override the value in the config
file.
Allow manifest revoking validator keys to be stored in a separate
[validator_key_revocation] config field, so the validator can run
again with new keys and token.
Validator lists from configured remote sites are fetched at a regular
interval. Fetched lists are expected to be in JSON format and contain the
following fields:
* "manifest": Base64-encoded serialization of a manifest containing the
validator publisher's master and signing public keys.
* "blob": Base64-encoded JSON string containing a "sequence",
"expiration" and "validators" field. "expiration" contains the Ripple
timestamp (seconds since January 1st, 2000 (00:00 UTC)) for when the
list expires. "validators" contains an array of objects with a
"validation_public_key" field.
* "signature": Hex-encoded signature of the blob using the publisher's
signing key.
* "version": 1
* "refreshInterval" (optional)
Instead of specifying a static list of trusted validators in the config
or validators file, the configuration can now include trusted validator
list publisher keys.
The trusted validator list and quorum are now reset each consensus
round using the latest validator lists and the list of recent
validations seen. The minimum validation quorum is now only
configurable via the command line.
The existing configuration includes 512 and 1024 bit DH
parameters and supports ciphers such as RC4 and 3DES and
hash algorithms like SHA-1 which are no longer considered
secure.
Going forward, use only 2048-bit DH parameters and define
a new default set of modern ciphers to use:
HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS:!SHA1:!3DES:!RC4:!EXPORT:!DSS
Additionally, allow administrators who wish to have different
settings to configure custom global and per-port ciphers suites
in the configuration file using the `ssl_ciphers` directive.
* Load specified [validators_file] relative to config dir
* Add default [validators_file] to rippled-example.cfg
* Remove [validators] and [validation_quorum] from rippled-example.cfg
* Add [validation_quorum] to validators-example.txt
* Allow validators.txt to be a symlink
* Throw for invalid [validators_file] instead of logging
* Trust own master public key from configured manifest
* Do not load untrusted manifests from database
Trusted validators are loaded from [validators] and [validator_keys]
sections from both rippled.cfg and validators.txt
Quorum is loaded from [validation_quorum] section in validators.txt
only if it is not configured in rippled.cfg
* Tweak account XRP balance and sequence if needed before preclaim.
* Limit total fees in flight to minimum reserve / account balance.
* LastLedgerSequence must be at least 2 more than the current ledger to be queued.
* Limit 10 transactions per account in the queue at a time.
* Limit queuing multiple transactions after transactions that affect authentication.
* Zero base fee transactions are treated as having a fixed fee level of 256000 instead of infinite.
* Full queue: new txn can only kick out a tx if the fee is higher than that account's average fee.
* Queued tx retry limit prevents indefinitely stuck txns.
* Return escalation factors in server_info and _state when escalated.
* Update documentation.
* Update experimental config to only include the % increase.
* Convert TxQ metric magic numbers to experimental config.
The new code removes the ability to specify domain names
in the [validators] configuration block, and no longer
supports the [validators_site] option.
More details on the supported configurations are available
under doc/rippled-example.cfg.
This is designed for use by proxies in front of rippled. Configured IPs
can forward identifying user data in HTTP headers, including
user name and origin IP. If the user name exists, then resource limits
are lifted for that session. However, administrative commands are still
reserved only for administrative sessions.
Multiple servers behind NAT might share a single public IP, making it
difficult for them to connect to the Ripple network since multiple
incoming connections from the same non-private IP are currently not
allowed.
RippleD now automatically allows between 2 and 5 incoming connections,
from the same public IP based on the total number of peers that it is
configured to accept.
Administrators can manually change the limit by adding an "ip_limit"
key value pair in the [overlay] stanza of the configuration file and
specifying a positive non-zero number. For example:
[overlay]
ip_limit=3
The previous "one connection per IP" strategy can be emulated by
setting "ip_limit" to 1.
The implementation imposes both soft and hard upper limits and will
adjust the value so that a single IP cannot consume all inbound slots.
The first few transactions are added to the open ledger at
the base fee (ie. 10 drops). Once enough transactions are
added, the required fee will jump dramatically. If additional
transactions are added, the fee will grow exponentially.
Transactions that don't have a high enough fee to be applied to
the ledger are added to the queue in order from highest fee to
lowest. Whenever a new ledger is accepted as validated, transactions
are first applied from the queue to the open ledger in fee order
until either all transactions are applied or the fee again jumps
too high for the remaining transactions.
Current implementation is restricted to one transaction in the
queue per account. Some groundwork has been laid to expand in
the future.
Note that this fee logic escalates independently of the load-based
fee logic (ie. LoadFeeTrack). Submitted transactions must meet
the load fee to be considered for the queue, and must meet both
fees to be put into open ledger.
