/*
Syncing is done as udp packets in the multicast domain 224.0.42.5 port 9696
Each tracker should join the multicast group and send its live sync packets
to that group, using a ttl of 1
Format of all sync packets is straight forward, packet type determines
which kind of packet this is:
0x0000 0x04 id of tracker instance
0x0004 0x04 packet type
########
######## PEER SYNC PROTOCOL ########
########
Each tracker instance accumulates announce requests until its buffer is
full or a timeout is reached. Then it broadcasts its live sync packer:
packet type SYNC_LIVE
[ 0x0008 0x14 info_hash
0x001c 0x04 peer's ipv4 address
0x0020 0x02 peer's port
0x0024 0x02 peer flags v1 ( SEEDING = 0x80, COMPLETE = 0x40, STOPPED = 0x20 )
]*
########
######## SCRAPE SYNC PROTOCOL ########
########
Each tracker instance SHOULD broadcast a beacon once in every 5 minutes after
running at least 30 minutes:
packet type SYNC_SCRAPE_BEACON
[ 0x0008 0x08 amount of torrents served
]
If a tracker instance receives a beacon from another instance that has more than
twice its torrent count, it asks for a scrape. It must wait for at least 5 + 1
minutes in order to inspect beacons from all tracker instances and chose the one
with most torrents.
If it sees a SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL within that time frame, it's likely, that another
scrape sync is going on. So one tracker instance MUST NOT react to beacons within
5 minutes of last seeing a SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL packet. After a scrape sync all
tracker instances have updated their torrents, so an instance in a "want inquire"
state should wait for the next round of beacons to chose the tracker with most
data again.
packet type SYNC_SCRAPE_INQUIRE
[ 0x0008 0x04 id of tracker instance to inquire
]
The inquired tracker instance answers with as many scrape tell packets it needs
to deliver stats about all its torrents
packet type SYNC_SCRAPE_TELL
[ 0x0008 0x14 info_hash
0x001c 0x04 base offset (i.e. when was it last announced, in minutes)
0x0020 0x08 downloaded count
]*
Each tracker instance that receives a scrape tell, looks up each torrent and
compares downloaded count with its own counter. It can send out its own scrape
tell packets, if it knows more.
