This module is used by the Status app to select mailservers based on their RTT(Round Trip Time).
It is exposed via the JSON RPC endpoint in the services/mailservers/tcp_ping.go
file.
The simplest way to use the mailserver_Ping
RPC command is using curl
.
The call takes one struct argument which contains two attributes:
addresses
- A list ofenode
addresses to ping.timeoutMs
- Call timeout given in milliseconds.
The return value consists of a list of objects representing a result for each mailserver, each containing following attributes:
address
- Theenode
address of given mailserver.rttMs
- Round Trip Time given in milliseconds. Set tonull
in case of an error.`error
- A text of error that caused the ping failure.
