SUGG: Expose Connection's seqnums and ACKs to server and client.
|
||||
- This enables saving many packets and making a faster connection
|

- This also enables server to check if client has received the

most recent block sent, for example.

TODO: Add a sane bandwidth throttling system to Connection

FIXME: There still are *some* tiny glitches in lighting as seen from
|
||||
the client side. The server calculates them right but sometimes
|
||||
they don't get transferred properly.
|
||||
- Server probably checks that a block is not sent, then continues
|
||||
to sending it, then the emerge thread marks it as unsent and then
|
||||
the sender sends the block as it was before emerging?

TODO: Somehow prioritize the sending of blocks and combine the block

|
||||
- Take two blocks to be sent next from each client and assign
|

a priority value to them
|
||||
- Priority is the same as distance from player
|
||||
- Take the highest priority ones and send them. Send as many as
|
||||
fits in the global send queue maximum length (sum of lengths
|
||||
of client queues)
|
||||
TODO: Make the amount of blocks sending to client and the total
|
||||
amount of blocks dynamically limited. Transferring blocks is the
|
||||
main network eater of this system, so it is the one that has
|
||||
to be throttled so that RTTs stay low.
|
||||
FIXME: There is a bug that sometimes the EmergeThread bumps to
|
||||
the client's emerge counter being already 0, and also the
|
||||
sending queue size of the client can float to 1 or 2, which
|
||||
stops the map from loading at all.

being at 0 and timing out old entries
