public class ExponentialBackOff : object, IBackOff
Implementation of IBackOff that increases the back-off period for each retry attempt using a
randomization function that grows exponentially. In addition, it also adds a randomize number of milliseconds
for each attempt.
Gets the delta time span used to generate a random milliseconds to add to the next back-off.
If the value is then the generated back-off will be exactly 1, 2, 4,
8, 16, etc. seconds. A valid value is between zero and one second. The default value is 250ms, which means
that the generated back-off will be [0.75-1.25]sec, [1.75-2.25]sec, [3.75-4.25]sec, and so on.
