# Introduction
# ============
#
# This script automatically adjusts the SQM bandwidth according to
# latency and load. It is designed to be run as a daemon / service.
#
# Bandwidth rests at a "standard" value, which should be a reasonable
# estimate of how much bandwidth capacity the WAN link can reliably
# deliver at most times. Bandwidth increases and decreases are
# limited by maxima and minima, and subject to various conditions
# (see below).

#
# Latency measurement
# ===================
#
# Upload and download latencies are measured separately using ICMP type
# 13 (timestamp) messages, so the target hosts ("reflectors") must
# respond to ICMP type 13 requests. Lists of reflectors for different
# regions can be downloaded from here:
# https://github.com/tievolu/timestamp-reflectors
#
# ICMP requests are sent on the ICMP Sender thread at regular intervals
# controlled by the "icmp_interval" property), while the ICMP Receiver
# thread listens for responses. The results are stored in a shared
# array and the contents are periodically evaluated and acted upon on
# the main thread. See the "latency_check_interval" property.
#
# The targets for the ICMP messages, or "reflectors" are chosen at random
# from the CSV file specified in the "reflectors_csv" property.
#
# If a reflector performs poorly, it will be replaced with a new random
# reflector from the CSV file. Performing "poorly" means timing out too
# often, responding too slowly, or returning nonsensical ICMP timestamps. 
# This behaviour is controlled with the "reflector_strikeout_threshold",
# "reflector_strike_ttl", "ul_max_idle_latency", and "dl_max_idle_latency"
# properties. "reflector_strikeout_threshold" can be set to 0 to disable
# strikes completely and use a static set of reflectors. This is useful
# if you want to use a known good set of reflectors.
#
# Latency results are cleared after every bandwidth change.
#
# Bandwidth usage measurement
# ===========================
#
# Bandwidth usage is measured on the main thread every time we conduct a
# latency check. The average bandwidth usage between each latency check
# is stored, and when ICMP results are evaluated the bandwidth usage for
# the approprate time period is used to assess whether latency is likely
# to be caused by bufferbloat, which in turn determines if/how the SQM
# bandwidth should be changed (see algorithm description above).
#
# Bandwidth decreases
# ===================
#
# The logic behind the bandwidth decrease conditions shown above is that
# if there is no significant bandwidth usage, the bad pings are not
# caused by bufferbloat, and decreasing the bandwidth won't help. "Bad"
# pings that are not associated with significant bandwidth usage are
# ignored when evaluating latency.
#
# The amount by which the bandwidth is decreased is calculated based on
# the average bandwidth usage at the times when bad pings were detected.
# The bandwidth will be decreased to that average "bad" bandwidth usage
# plus a small "overshoot" controlled by the "decrease_overshoot_pc"
# property (default 5%).
#
# Bandwidth increases
# ===================
#
# Bandwidth will only be increased when we have a full set of clean
# ICMP results (i.e. no bad results). For example, if $max_recent_results
# is 20 and the ICMP interval is 0.1s, the minimum interval between
# bandwidth increases will be 2 seconds. Increases can be delayed further
# by adjusting the "increase_delay_after_decrease" and
# "increase_delay_after_increase" properties.
#
# The amount by which the bandwidth is increased is proportional to the
# the difference between the average good ping result and the "bad ping"
# threshold:
#
#   ([ping threshold] - [average good ping time]) * increase_factor
#
# The increase is also tapered as we approach the maximum bandwidth.
#
# Bandwidth relaxations
# =====================
#
# The SQM bandwidth will "relax" back to the standard bandwidth after any
# increases or decreases. The size of each relaxation step and the delay
# between them can be configured with the "relax_pc" and "relax_delay"
# properties. After a bandwidth decrease, relaxations will also be delayed
# by "increase_delay_after_decrease" to avoid an inappropriate increase
# after a relaxation.

# ICMP type 13 timestamps should be based on the number of milliseconds

# on anything they like.
#
# Even if the timestamps *are* based on the number of milliseconds since
# midnight UTC, the request and response times we calculate will only be
# accurate if our system clock is precisely in sync with the reflector's
# system clock. This will normally not be the case. When the NTP daemon
# has had 12-24 hours to synchronize with an NTP server the times will
# be pretty close, probably to within 5-10 milliseconds, but they can be
# hundreds of millseconds out when we first boot up.
#
# Either way, any difference between our timer and the reflector's timer
# will cause our calculated request and response times to be inflated,
# reduced, or even negative. However, as long as the difference is
# relatively consistent we can address this by applying an offset to
# compensate for it.
#
# Obviously we can't know what the difference between the timers is,
# but we can estimate it based on the minimum possible request/response
# time. We use the lowest half-round-trip-time we've ever seen. If a
# request/response is lower than this value, we calculate the number of
# milliseconds required to bump it up to the minimum, and apply this
# offset to both the request and the response. We add the offset to the
# request time, and subtract it from the response time, and the offset
# can be positive or negative. The minimum response/request time and
# offset for each target host are stored in hashes and adjusted when
