[Bamboo-Users] Code Snippet

[Haijun Cao]

I figure it is to simulate lossy network connection, and trigger udpcc
re-send logic via timeout.

Subject: [Bamboo-Users] Code Snippet

Dear All,
I have a question about a code snippet in file bamboo.lss.Network.java.
It's not clear the meaning of the following do-while loop:

do {
        dp *= drop_prob;
        ts -= 5;
     }
while (ts > 0);

inside the

public Object send(final QuickSerializable msg, final InetSocketAddress
dst,
                       final long timeoutSeconds,
                       final Thunk1<Boolean> callback)  method.

I think that the loop calculates the probability to drop a message, but
I
don't understand the meaning. Any Ideas?

Thank you very much,
Martina
