The Federation Sender is responsible for sending Persistent Data Units (PDUs)
and Ephemeral Data Units (EDUs) to other homeservers using
the `/send` Federation API.


## How do PDUs get sent?

The Federation Sender is made aware of new PDUs due to `FederationSender.notify_new_events`.
When the sender is notified about a newly-persisted PDU that originates from this homeserver
and is not an out-of-band event, we pass the PDU to the `_PerDestinationQueue` for each
remote homeserver that is in the room at that point in the DAG.


### Per-Destination Queues

There is one `PerDestinationQueue` per 'destination' homeserver.
The `PerDestinationQueue` maintains the following information about the destination:

- whether the destination is currently in [catch-up mode (see below)](#catch-up-mode);
- a queue of PDUs to be sent to the destination; and
- a queue of EDUs to be sent to the destination (not considered in this section).

Upon a new PDU being enqueued, `attempt_new_transaction` is called to start a new
transaction if there is not already one in progress.


### Transactions and the Transaction Transmission Loop

Each federation HTTP request to the `/send` endpoint is referred to as a 'transaction'.
The body of the HTTP request contains a list of PDUs and EDUs to send to the destination.

The *Transaction Transmission Loop* (`_transaction_transmission_loop`) is responsible
for emptying the queued PDUs (and EDUs) from a `PerDestinationQueue` by sending
them to the destination.

There can only be one transaction in flight for a given destination at any time.
(Other than preventing us from overloading the destination, this also makes it easier to
reason about because we process events sequentially for each destination.
This is useful for *Catch-Up Mode*, described later.)

The loop continues so long as there is anything to send. At each iteration of the loop, we:

- dequeue up to 50 PDUs (and up to 100 EDUs).
- make the `/send` request to the destination homeserver with the dequeued PDUs and EDUs.
- if successful, make note of the fact that we succeeded in transmitting PDUs up to
  the given `stream_ordering` of the latest PDU by
- if unsuccessful, back off from the remote homeserver for some time.
  If we have been unsuccessful for too long (when the backoff interval grows to exceed 1 hour),
  the in-memory queues are emptied and we enter [*Catch-Up Mode*, described below](#catch-up-mode).


### Catch-Up Mode

When the `PerDestinationQueue` has the catch-up flag set, the *Catch-Up Transmission Loop*
(`_catch_up_transmission_loop`) is used in lieu of the regular `_transaction_transmission_loop`.
(Only once the catch-up mode has been exited can the regular transaction transmission behaviour
be resumed.)

*Catch-Up Mode*, entered upon Synapse startup or once a homeserver has fallen behind due to
connection problems, is responsible for sending PDUs that have been missed by the destination
homeserver. (PDUs can be missed because the `PerDestinationQueue` is volatile — i.e. resets
on startup — and it does not hold PDUs forever if `/send` requests to the destination fail.)

The catch-up mechanism makes use of the `last_successful_stream_ordering` column in the
`destinations` table (which gives the `stream_ordering` of the most recent successfully
sent PDU) and the `stream_ordering` column in the `destination_rooms` table (which gives,
for each room, the `stream_ordering` of the most recent PDU that needs to be sent to this
destination).

Each iteration of the loop pulls out 50 `destination_rooms` entries with the oldest
`stream_ordering`s that are greater than the `last_successful_stream_ordering`.
In other words, from the set of latest PDUs in each room to be sent to the destination,
the 50 oldest such PDUs are pulled out.

These PDUs could, in principle, now be directly sent to the destination. However, as an
optimisation intended to prevent overloading destination homeservers, we instead attempt
to send the latest forward extremities so long as the destination homeserver is still
eligible to receive those.
This reduces load on the destination **in aggregate** because all Synapse homeservers
will behave according to this principle and therefore avoid sending lots of different PDUs
at different points in the DAG to a recovering homeserver.
*This optimisation is not currently valid in rooms which are partial-state on this homeserver,
since we are unable to determine whether the destination homeserver is eligible to receive
the latest forward extremities unless this homeserver sent those PDUs — in this case, we
just send the latest PDUs originating from this server and skip this optimisation.*

Whilst PDUs are sent through this mechanism, the position of `last_successful_stream_ordering`
is advanced as normal.
Once there are no longer any rooms containing outstanding PDUs to be sent to the destination
*that are not already in the `PerDestinationQueue` because they arrived since Catch-Up Mode
was enabled*, Catch-Up Mode is exited and we return to `_transaction_transmission_loop`.


#### A note on failures and back-offs

If a remote server is unreachable over federation, we back off from that server,
with an exponentially-increasing retry interval.
We automatically retry after the retry interval expires (roughly, the logic to do so
being triggered every minute).

If the backoff grows too large (> 1 hour), the in-memory queue is emptied (to prevent
unbounded growth) and Catch-Up Mode is entered.

It is worth noting that the back-off for a remote server is cleared once an inbound
request from that remote server is received (see `notify_remote_server_up`).
At this point, the transaction transmission loop is also started up, to proactively
send missed PDUs and EDUs to the destination (i.e. you don't need to wait for a new PDU
or EDU, destined for that destination, to be created in order to send out missed PDUs and
EDUs).

        # Some background on the rate-limiting going on here.
        #
        # It turns out that if we attempt to send out RRs as soon as we get them from
        # a client, then we end up trying to do several hundred Hz of federation
        # transactions. (The number of transactions scales as O(N^2) on the size of a
        # room, since in a large room we have both more RRs coming in, and more servers
        # to send them to.)
        #
        # This leads to a lot of CPU load, and we end up getting behind. The solution
        # currently adopted is as follows:
        #
        # The first receipt in a given room is sent out immediately, at time T0. Any
        # further receipts are, in theory, batched up for N seconds, where N is calculated
        # based on the number of servers in the room to achieve a transaction frequency
        # of around 50Hz. So, for example, if there were 100 servers in the room, then
        # N would be 100 / 50Hz = 2 seconds.
        #
        # Then, after T+N, we flush out any receipts that have accumulated, and restart
        # the timer to flush out more receipts at T+2N, etc. If no receipts accumulate,
        # we stop the cycle and go back to the start.
        #
        # However, in practice, it is often possible to flush out receipts earlier: in
        # particular, if we are sending a transaction to a given server anyway (for
        # example, because we have a PDU or a RR in another room to send), then we may
        # as well send out all of the pending RRs for that server. So it may be that
        # by the time we get to T+N, we don't actually have any RRs left to send out.
        # Nevertheless we continue to buffer up RRs for the room in question until we
        # reach the point that no RRs arrive between timer ticks.

        # For even more background, see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4730.
