exponential-backoff-ca 2

An exponential backoff iterator with collision avoidance.

Hello

Each iteration returns the total time (in seconds) to delay. It does this by increasing the maximum number of slots each iteration and then choosing a random number of slots between 0 and the maximum number of slots.

(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff#Collision_avoidance)

Example:

import exponentional_backoff_ca

time_slot_secs = 2.0 # The number of seconds in each time slot.
num_iterations = 10  # The number of iterations.

exp_boff = ExponentialBackoff(time_slot_secs, num_iterations)

for interval in exp_boff:
    print(f"number of seconds in this slot is {interval}")
