Whose idea was it to allow the deferral interval to simply continue escalating with no ceiling? Was there a reason for this design or was it an oversight? What was wrong with the classic 1 hour? |

There are ceilings, two weeks is the highest one. By having a random and increasing retry period the servers are less likely to get overloaded and go back down immediately after an outage. John Keck testing BOINC since 2002/12/08 |

Ceilings I understand. But 2 weeks? Doesn't that seem a bit excessive? |
