34
+ Routes TES tasks to the backends closest to their input data: ranks the
35
+ candidate backends by their distance to the locations of the task's inputs.
36
+ Locations come from the backend list or from a local GeoIP database

+ (offline, the default); online lookups are an explicit opt-in. The
38
+ successor of proTES's distance-based task distribution.

52
+
53
+ ## What it does
54
+
55
+ `route`:
56
+
57
+ 1. Takes the `url`s of the task's `inputs`, as the client submitted them
58
+ (`ctx.original`), and their hosts, for the schemes `http`, `https`,
59
+ `ftp`, `ftps` and `sftp`. Other inputs are left out: those without URL
60
+ (inline `content`), `file:///…`, and buckets (e.g., `s3://bucket/key`,
61
+ `gs://…`), whose names say nothing about where the data is.
62
+ 2. Locates each host, at most `max_hosts` per task: host names are
63
+ resolved with the system resolver, all at once, within half of
64
+ `resolve_timeout` (and never beyond the step's deadline), and the first
65
+ **public** address is looked up by the provider. Private addresses
66
+ (e.g., in-cluster storage) are never looked up.
67
+ 3. Locates each candidate backend: its location in the backend list
68
+ (`location: {latitude: …, longitude: …}`, FOCA's `Backend.location`)
69
+ if configured, or else that of its host's public address (unless
70
+ `locate_backends: false`); backend names are resolved within the rest
71
+ of `resolve_timeout`.
72
+ 4. Ranks the located backends by the sum of the great-circle distances to
73
+ the located inputs (each input URL counts once, so hosts with more
74
+ inputs weigh more; distances are computed once per host), closest
75
+ first; ties keep the candidates' order.
76
+ Backends without location follow, in their order. No candidate is
77
+ dropped.
78
+
79
+ It raises `NotApplicable` (so that the step's next alternative routes, e.g.,
80
+ [`generic.routing.random`](../../../generic/routing/random/README.md) or
81
+ FOCA's `foca.routing.ordered`) if the task has no input URLs, if none of
82
+ its inputs could be located, or if none of the candidates could be
83
+ located. It never rejects a request.
84
+
85
+ Annotations, counts only (hosts, addresses and places of inputs could be
86
+ personal data): `inputs` (input URLs), `input_hosts`, `located_inputs`
87
+ (input URLs with a location), `located_backends`, `lookups` (by the
88
+ provider), `cache_hits`, `failed_lookups` and `skipped_lookups`
89
+ (addresses not looked up for lack of time or beyond `dbip_max_lookups`).
90
+ The order is in the provenance of each request (`route.candidates_out`).
91
+
92
+ ### Cache and limits
93
+
94
+ Each process caches the lookups of addresses, also misses (addresses
95
+ without location), so that backends are looked up once per process until
96
+ the entry expires, not per task: `cache_ttl` (1 day) for locations,
97
+ `cache_miss_ttl` (1 hour) for misses and `cache_failure_ttl` (1 minute)
98
+ for failed lookups (e.g., a service is down; not lookups that only ran
99
+ out of time), at most `cache_size` addresses (the least recently used go
100
+ first). FOCA 0.18 gives plugins no
101
+ database, so the cache is not shared between processes.
102
+
103
+ Name resolution can't be interrupted, and hosts of inputs come from
104
+ clients, so slow or hostile name servers must not tie up the gateway's
105
+ plugin workers:
106
+
107
+ - all host names of a call are resolved in parallel, within one
108
+ `resolve_timeout` (2 seconds), well below FOCA's default step timeout;
109
+ - each process resolves at most `resolve_threads` (16) names of inputs
110
+ at a time, and as many names of backends, in threads of their own, so
111
+ that names of inputs can't hold up backends; a call starts at most a
112
+ quarter of the threads for its inputs; further names stay unresolved;
113
+ - each name is resolved by one thread at a time; concurrent calls wait
114
+ for it, each until its own deadline;
115
+ - the addresses of names, also of names that couldn't be resolved, are
116
+ cached for `resolve_cache_ttl` (5 minutes).
117
+
118
+ ## Configuration
119
+
120
+ Admin settings, in the gateway app's configuration (FOCA's `plugins`
121
+ section):
122
+
123
+ ```yaml
124
+ plugins:
125
+ available:
126
+ tes.routing.distance:
127
+ distribution: foca-plugin-tes-routing-distance
128
+ config:
129
+ database: /opt/geoip/dbip-city-lite.mmdb
130
+ pipeline:
131
+ - id: route
132
+ alternatives:
133
+ - plugin: tes.routing.distance
134
+ - plugin: foca.routing.ordered # if distance routing doesn't apply
135
+ ```
136
+
137
+ Configure the locations of your backends in the backend list where you
138
+ know them: they are exact, and need no lookup.
139
+
140
+ | Setting | Type | Default | Description |
141
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- |
142
+ | `config.provider` | `offline` or `dbip` | `offline` | where locations of addresses come from (see below) |
143
+ | `config.database` | path of an existing file | none; required for `offline` | GeoIP database in MaxMind DB format |
144
+ | `config.dbip_url` | `https` URL | `https://api.db-ip.com/v2/free` | DB-IP's API (`dbip`) |
145
+ | `config.nominatim_url` | `https` URL | `https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org` | Nominatim, e.g., an instance of your own (`dbip`) |
146
+ | `config.user_agent` | visible ASCII and spaces, 1 to 256 characters, not starting with a space | `foca-plugin-tes-routing-distance` | user agent of the requests (`dbip`); Nominatim's usage policy asks for one that identifies your gateway, e.g., with a contact |
147
+ | `config.nominatim_interval` | seconds, 0 to 60 | `1.0` | time between requests to Nominatim, per process (its policy: at most 1 per second) |
148
+ | `config.dbip_backoff` | seconds, 0 to 86400 | `600` | time to ask DB-IP nothing after it refused a lookup, e.g., over its daily quota (`dbip`) |
149
+ | `config.dbip_max_lookups` | 1 to 1000 | `5` | uncached lookups per call, for inputs and for backends each (`dbip`), so that no single task uses up DB-IP's quota |
150
+ | `config.locate_backends` | boolean | `true` | whether backends without configured location are located by their address |
151
+ | `config.max_hosts` | 1 to 1000 | `20` | input hosts to locate per task |
152
+ | `config.resolve_timeout` | seconds, up to 60 | `2.0` | time to resolve the host names of a call, in total: half for inputs, the rest for backends (and never beyond the step's deadline) |
153
+ | `config.resolve_threads` | 1 to 256 | `16` | host names resolved at a time, per process, for inputs and for backends each (a call: at most a quarter for its inputs) |
154
+ | `config.resolve_cache_ttl` | seconds, ≥ 0 | `300` | time to keep the addresses of host names, also of names that couldn't be resolved |
155
+ | `config.cache_size` | ≥ 0 | `10000` | entries of each cache (addresses; host names of inputs and of backends; with `dbip`, places and coordinates); 0 turns the caches off |
156

162
+ ### Offline provider (default): a GeoIP database
163
+
164
+ The plugin reads a local GeoIP database in [MaxMind DB
165
+ format](https://maxmind.github.io/MaxMind-DB/); no data leaves the gateway
166
+ (apart from DNS queries for the hosts of inputs, see below). We recommend
167
+ DB-IP's free **IP to City Lite** database, under the [Creative Commons
168
+ Attribution 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/):
169
+ [IP Geolocation by DB-IP](https://db-ip.com). Other databases with
170
+ GeoIP2-City-style records (`location.latitude`, `location.longitude`)
171
+ work, too, e.g., MaxMind's GeoLite2 City (under MaxMind's own licence
172
+ terms, which need an account).
173
+
174
+ Neither this repository nor the package contains a database: download it
175
+ from [DB-IP](https://db-ip.com/db/download/ip-to-city-lite) (MMDB format),
176
+ check it, and add it to your gateway's image or mount it, e.g., in a
177
+ derived image (see "Installing" in the docs):
178
+
179
+ ```dockerfile
180
+ FROM docker.io/elixircloud/protes:<version>@sha256:<digest>
181
+ COPY plugins.txt /tmp/plugins.txt
182
+ RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --no-deps --require-hashes -r /tmp/plugins.txt
183
+ # Downloaded and checked before the build, e.g.:
184
+ # curl -fsSLO https://download.db-ip.com/free/dbip-city-lite-2026-10.mmdb.gz
185
+ # gunzip dbip-city-lite-2026-10.mmdb.gz
186
+ # sha256sum dbip-city-lite-2026-10.mmdb # record it, compare it in review
187
+ COPY dbip-city-lite-2026-10.mmdb /opt/geoip/dbip-city-lite.mmdb
188
+ ```
189
+
190
+ DB-IP updates the database monthly: rebuild the image (or replace the
191
+ mounted file and restart) at least every few months, as addresses move.
192
+ The plugin opens the file at startup; a missing or invalid file stops the
193
+ app with an error.
194
+
195
+ Attribution: if you show the results of the plugin to others (e.g., in
196
+ your gateway's documentation or service info), keep the attribution "IP
197
+ Geolocation by DB-IP" with a link to <https://db-ip.com>, as the licence
198
+ requires.
199
+
200
+ ### Online provider (`dbip`): an explicit opt-in
201
+
202
+ With `provider: dbip`, the plugin asks DB-IP's free API for the place of
203
+ each address (city, region, country), then Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) for
204
+ the place's coordinates, as proTES did. Requests go through the gateway's
205
+ guarded HTTP client (`ctx.http`: `https`, public addresses, the step's
206
+ deadline). It needs no database, but it sends data to third parties for
207
+ tasks whose addresses aren't cached (see below), is slower, and has rate
208
+ limits: DB-IP's free API allows 500 requests per day, and Nominatim's
209
+ public instance one per second. The plugin caches places and coordinates,
210
+ looks up at most `dbip_max_lookups` uncached addresses per call (for
211
+ inputs and for backends each), asks DB-IP only if Nominatim has a turn
212
+ before the deadline, and backs off for `dbip_backoff` when DB-IP refuses
213
+ lookups. These limits can't keep users who submit many tasks with fresh
214
+ public addresses from using up DB-IP's daily quota; distance routing then
215
+ doesn't apply (the next alternative routes) until the quota resets. Use
216
+ `offline` where that matters, and your own Nominatim instance
217
+ (`nominatim_url`) if you can.
218
+
219
+ DB-IP's page of the free API asks for no attribution; check DB-IP's terms
220
+ of service for your use. Nominatim's data is © OpenStreetMap contributors
221
+ (ODbL); the plugin uses the coordinates of places only to rank backends.
222
+
223
+ ## Data transfers
224
+
225
+ - **Default (`offline`):** none to third parties. The system resolver of
226
+ the gateway resolves the host names of inputs and backends (DNS queries,
227
+ as for any connection).
228
+ - **`provider: dbip`:**
229
+ - **db-ip.com** (`api.db-ip.com`) gets the public IP addresses of the
230
+ hosts of task inputs and of backends without configured location;
231
+ - **Nominatim** (by default `nominatim.openstreetmap.org`) gets the city,
232
+ region and country of those addresses.
233
+
234
+ The hosts of inputs may reveal where users keep their data: tell users,
235
+ e.g., in your gateway's privacy notice. Clients see these transfers in
236
+ the plugin listing (`data_transfers`), whatever the provider.
237
+
238
+ ## Installation
239
+
240
+ ```bash
241
+ pip install foca-plugin-tes-routing-distance
242
+ ```
243
+
244
+ See "Installing" in the docs for release trains and derived images.
245
+
246
+ ## Development
247
+
248
+ From the repository root, with the development environment set up (see
249
+ "Contributing" in the docs):
250
+
251
+ ```bash
252
+ uv run ruff check plugins/tes/routing/distance
253
+ uv run python -m scripts.packages mypy plugins/tes/routing/distance
254
+ uv run coverage run --source plugins/tes/routing/distance/src \
255
+ -m pytest plugins/tes/routing/distance
256
+ uv run coverage report
257
+ ```
258
+
259
+ The tests write their own small GeoIP database (`mmdb-writer`, a
260
+ development dependency) and need no network.
