/**
 * \file circuitmux_ewma.c
 * \brief EWMA circuit selection as a circuitmux_t policy
 *
 * The "EWMA" in this module stands for the "exponentially weighted moving
 * average" of the number of cells sent on each circuit.  The goal is to
 * prioritize cells on circuits that have been quiet recently, by looking at
 * those that have sent few cells over time, prioritizing recent times
 * more than older ones.
 *
 * Specifically, a cell sent at time "now" has weight 1, but a time X ticks
 * before now has weight ewma_scale_factor ^ X , where ewma_scale_factor is
 * between 0.0 and 1.0.
 *
 * For efficiency, we do not re-scale these averages every time we send a
 * cell: that would be horribly inefficient.  Instead, we we keep the cell
 * count on all circuits on the same circuitmux scaled relative to a single
 * tick.  When we add a new cell, we scale its weight depending on the time
 * that has elapsed since the tick.  We do re-scale the circuits on the
 * circuitmux periodically, so that we don't overflow double.
 *
 *
 * This module should be used through the interfaces in circuitmux.c, which it
 * implements.

/* ==== Functions for scaling cell_ewma_t ====

   When choosing which cells to relay first, we favor circuits that have been
   quiet recently.  This gives better latency on connections that aren't
   pushing lots of data, and makes the network feel more interactive.

   Conceptually, we take an exponentially weighted mean average of the number
   of cells a circuit has sent, and allow active circuits (those with cells to
   relay) to send cells in reverse order of their exponentially-weighted mean
   average (EWMA) cell count.  [That is, a cell sent N seconds ago 'counts'
   F^N times as much as a cell sent now, for 0<F<1.0, and we favor the
   circuit that has sent the fewest cells]

   If 'double' had infinite precision, we could do this simply by counting a
   cell sent at startup as having weight 1.0, and a cell sent N seconds later
   as having weight F^-N.  This way, we would never need to re-scale
   any already-sent cells.

   To prevent double from overflowing, we could count a cell sent now as
   having weight 1.0 and a cell sent N seconds ago as having weight F^N.
   This, however, would mean we'd need to re-scale *ALL* old circuits every
   time we wanted to send a cell.

   So as a compromise, we divide time into 'ticks' (currently, 10-second
   increments) and say that a cell sent at the start of a current tick is
   worth 1.0, a cell sent N seconds before the start of the current tick is
   worth F^N, and a cell sent N seconds after the start of the current tick is
   worth F^-N.  This way we don't overflow, and we don't need to constantly
   rescale.
