Hmz, in that case - you are right, backoff isn't working as well as it should.


We all know that backoff is alchemy, but we accept that given its simplicity and because it isn't part of the NGR algorithm (we have a non-alchemy solution but it is much more complicated). That isn't the problem - the important question is why are remote nodes continuing to pummel your node when they should be backing off...? We should add some logging to this effect (note when nodes send requests, and when we respond with QRs. See whether they are obeying the backoff rules, and if so, why that doesn't work, or if not, why not).
