Use a smarter algorithm for choosing MTU discovery probe sizes. Currently, tinc uses a naive algorithm for choosing MTU discovery probe sizes, picking a size at random between minmtu and maxmtu. This is of course suboptimal - since the behavior of probes is deterministic (assuming no packet loss), it seems likely that using a non-deterministic discovery algorithm will not yield the best results. Furthermore, the randomness introduces a lot of variation in convergence times. The random solution also suffers from pathological cases - since it's using a uniform distribution, it doesn't take into account the fact that it's often more interesting to send small probes rather than large ones, because getting replies is the only way we can make progress (assuming the worst case scenario in which the OS doesn't know anything, therefore keeping maxmtu constant). This can lead to absurd situations where the discovery algorithm is close to the real MTU, but can't get to it because the random number generator keeps generating numbers that are past it. The algorithm implemented in this patch aims to improve on the naive random algorithm. It is organized around "cycles" of 8 probes; the sizes of the probes decrease as we go through the cycle, thus making sure the algorithm can cover lots of ground quickly (in case we're far from actual MTU), but also examining the local area (in case we're close to actual MTU). Using cycles ensures that the algorithm will "go back" to large probes to better cover the new interval and to protect against packet loss. For the probe size itself, various mathematical models were simulated in an attempt to find the one that converges the fastest; it has been determined that using an exponential based on the size of the remaining interval was the most effective option. The exponential is adjusted with a magic multiplier fine-tuned to make tinc jump to the "most interesting" (i.e. 1400+) section as soon as discovery starts. Simulations indicate that assuming no packet loss and no help from the OS (i.e. maxmtu stays constant), this algorithm will typically converge to the *exact* MTU value in less than 10 probes, and will get within 8 bytes in less than 5 probes, for actual MTUs between 1417 and ~1450 (which is the range the algorithm is fine-tuned for). In contrast, the previous algorithm gives results all over the place, sometimes taking 30+ probes to get in the ballpark. Because of the issues with the distribution, the previous algorithm sometimes never gets to the precise MTU value within any reasonable amount of time - in contrast, the new algorithm will always get to the precise value in less than 30 probes, even if the actual MTU is completely outside the optimized range.
