The quandry is what to do with peers that have disappeared for too
long. If we keep trying to re-register, we could be quite busy doing
that for an eternity… but if we de-reg the peer and it comes back in 10
minutes, but, say, never lost the master, we don’t get a peer list for
a LONG time and we don’t get it back then either…. There’s no good
answer right now. Anyone got one?
Turns out we have to do this in TWO places, when processing the peer
list (or could be peer reg. replies, but I only do it once) AND the
master registration reply. So rather than duplicate the code, I moved
it to a function.
Since peers are no-longer de-registered just by missing too many
keep-alives (instead returned to registration phase), there must be a
way to remove a peer that we have in our list(s) that are NOT in new
peer lists from the master. This was added.
moved many of the inline print statements to logger.debug. The code is
solid enough they’re no longer needed.
Also made a couple of minor logic changes:
When a peer misses too-many keep-alives, it doesn’t de-register, it
just goes back to registration attempt until a new peer list is
recieved, or a de-registration is recieved. Also, outstanding
keep-alives are set to 0 when a peer or master exceed max-keep-alives
and return to registration pending.
repeaters don’t reply to keep alives while they are transmitting.
Changed addes so that when voice packets are received, the keep-alive
monitor is reset for that peer.
0x61, 0x62 and 0x63 have been mostly decoded. Still don’t know what all
of the pieces do, but know what they’re for finally!
This will mean big things for log.py as I figure out the details.
Move bridge.py's config information to a separate file.
Provide a sample file for bridge.py (bridge_rules_SAMPLE.py)
Tell peers we're a 3rd party app and repeater monitor.
Also gently nudged potential users to remember this is a VOLUNTEER project with 1.1 developers... and the 1 part is a novice programmer at best. Also, a reminder (again here) that this software is NOT for commercial use.
Internal data structure change for how peers are stored. Instead of a
list of dicts, it is now a dict of dicts where the dict key IS the
radio ID, and the Radio ID is no longer stored in the "inner" dict.
This does NOT affect bridge.py or log.py, only dmrlink.py
