Description Alan Somers freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-04-07 02:58:09 UTC
Periodic scripts that hit external servers can cause a "thundering herd" problem, whereby many systems' periodic scripts run at the same time, and overload the server.  To prevent this, such scripts should sleep for a random amount of time before hitting the external server.

After r316432, there is a common anticongestion function to handle this.  For an example of how to use it, see
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=181374&action=diff
