Comment(by karsten):
I started looking into this today, and I think we should add new config
options, e.g., TestingClientDownloadSchedule (accepting a CSV list),
TestingClientConsensusDownloadSchedule (accepting a CSV list), and
TestingClientMaxIntervalWithoutRequest (accepting an INTERVAL) that can
only be changed if TestingTorNetwork is set. I hope to get away without
changing all those other constants that arma changed in the diff he gave
to Chris. The fewer new torrc options we add, the better. But I think
we'll have to create separate options for these things, rather than
magically changing timings when TestingTorNetwork is set.
But before I write a patch, how would I reproduce the situation where
clients don't bootstrap because of too high dir fetch retry schedules? I
tried a tiny-m1.large network with Tor 0.2.3.25, but scallion.log looks
normal to me. What log messages would I look for? Or how would I change
the configuration to reproduce the problem?
With respect to the use case where people attempt to faithfully reproduce
timing problems: we're already changing plenty of timings in
TestingTorNetwork mode. If this use case exists, people should manually
reset timing-related options to non-TestingTorNetwork defaults. Not
directly related to this issue though.
