Multiply per-hop retries down a call chain and then break the cascade correctly.

How does a 2x retry policy become 16x at four hops?

Jitter spreads the herd; upstream sees a flatter wave.

200 clients × 1.42 = 283 attempts

Method

  • Deterministic local model of the mechanism — knobs recompute outputs instantly with no network.
  • Numbers are teaching approximations, not production capacity guarantees.
