Description

All that we know is that orderly is the default source strategy, but I cannot find information on:

  1. what a source strategy is
  2. what the 'orderly' source strategy does

Research direction

Review lib/rucio/transfertool/fts3.py at line 193 and docs/operator/configuration_parameters.md at line 440. Document what a source strategy is and what the default orderly strategy does, using the referenced code and configuration entry as the starting points. Done means both questions are answered in the documentation.
