Nextgens also said, correctly: > BTW, the backoff is now "advistory" and is likely to be obsoleted by the > new load-balancing algorithm. Explanation: The new backoff is "advisory" in the sense that the node will still send requests to a backed-off node if it's the only node available. If you have 10 nodes and all are backed off, it will ignore the backoff state. The reason for this is that limiting is separate from balancing: backoff is for balancing (ensuring that really slow nodes don't slow down the whole network), client-node-side AIMD throttling is for limiting (reducing the amount of load going into the network to something it can handle).
