WU stats code: Relayed?

[Knish]

random question, regarding a thing i saw here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu?p=117 ... 881&gen=14

anybody know the Relayed meaning off the top of their head? All i've been aware of before was OK and Faulty2

Can't answered your question - I had one in the past but never looked at my log to see if I could work it out … FYI - You will occasionally see Faulty as well

I've got couple of those. I got the credit so it is ok. Maybe server related message.

My (non-authoritative) guess: A WU which is uploaded directly to the Work Server is not relayed. A WU which fails to upload to the WS is uploaded to a Collection Server. That WU has to be relayed to the WS so there is additional processing involved and additional delays.

The Credited time (which is not in the Credited column) could easily be unexpectedly late.

I don't think that is correct. Of all my work units that have been relayed, most of them were directly uploaded to the WS that they were meant to be. And almost all of the uploads that failed to upload to the right WS and had to get uploaded to a different one do not have the relayed status.

I know this is an old post but I'm curious to know what this status means as well and this is the only thread about it.

This is 5 years old thread, server code has probably gone through many updates and tweaks

Possibly, but the status code's name is the same so I would guess it has the same purpose that it used to. I'm still curious to know what it means, for a script I am writing that collects statistics from the API.
