Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Choosing VPN server based on server response times Post 303041895 by Neo on Friday 6th of December 2019 03:11:51 AM

Network conditions change constantly.

If you create an algorithm to select the fastest VPN host at time = T0, it is highly possible a few minutes later that same selection, which appeared optimal at time = T0, will be much slower than it was before at time = T0 + "not too many seconds later"; especially when you are on a public network shared by many people.

You have no control over when someone else who shares the same host decides to upload or download a huge file. You have no control over others who might also be trying to "optimize" like you, on a shared public network.

The architecture, android, arch x86_64, etc are not relevant because the issue is not under the control of your architecture on shared public networks.

Sounds like you have not done much network management or Internet system design work before.....

NAME
nameserv::common - Name service facility, shared definitions SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8 package require nameserv::common ?0.1? ::nameserv::common::port _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Please read Name service facility, introduction first. This package is internal and of no interest to users. It provides the commands of the name service facility which are shared by the client and server implemented by the packages nameserv::server and nameserv (the client). This service is built in top of and for the package comm. It has nothing to do with the Internet's Domain Name System. If the reader is looking for a package dealing with that please see Tcllib's packages dns and resolv. API
The package exports a single command, as specified below: ::nameserv::common::port The result returned by the command is the id of the default TCP/IP port a nameservice server will listen on, and a name service client will try to connect to. BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category nameserv of the Tcllib SF Trackers [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12883]. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation. SEE ALSO
