How to manage the "fakelag" or "delay between

[KnuX]

Hi all,

I'm using unrealircd, and I know that by default there is a delay between messages in order to prevent floods.

I wonder why this delay doesn't appears on my Unreal3.2.3 (sorry, I will upgrade )...

There is an example of flood with timestamp :

23:00:18 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:19 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:19 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:19 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:19 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:19 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:19 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:20 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:20 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:20 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:20 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...
23:00:20 <nicolas798|2099m0> ...

This client belong to the "clients" class which has the following settings :

Code: Select all

class           clients
{
	pingfreq 90;
	maxclients 16384;
	sendq  1500000;
	recvq 30000;
};

Sendq is explained by having a very good Java Applet which uses /who on big channels, etc.

Thanks you in advance for your answers

First of all, IRCOps are exempted from any fakelag.

Second, users are allowed to have short boosts (especially for such very short messages/commands).

It's a technical story[*], but, for those short messages they can have a boost of 10 messages all at-once (and are then lagged up quite a bit ;p).

[*] the fakelag is 1s per command plus 1s for every 90 bytes, and when the fakelag is <10s the fakelag is not enforced.[/size]

PS: You do have a ridiculous recvq though... this should be 8k (which is the default, well.. 8000 bytes is) or lower...

Thanks, it's very clear now

I will correct the recvq I don't know why this value was choosen (I'm not the only admin to edit the file ^^)
