#21600: Hidden service introduction point retries occur at 1 second intervals
------------------------------+----------------------------------
Reporter: teor | Owner: teor
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.1.x-final
Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: 0.2.7.2-alpha
Severity: Normal | Keywords: tor-hs, single-onion
Actual Points: | Parent ID: #21446

------------------------------+----------------------------------
Tor will try to reconnect to an introduction point up to 3 times.
But rend_consider_services_intro_points() is called every second, which
means that it uses up these retries very quickly, particularly if the
connection fails quickly, like direct connections sometimes do on single
onion services.
It might be more sensible to retry slightly more slowly.
On the other hand, maybe it's good that we fail fast and replace the
introduction point.
This behaviour was introduced in commit 1125a4876b4.
