ipcpd: Rework congestion avoidance

2026-07-19T09:44:36+00:00

Congestion avoidance is a property of the layer, orthogonal to ARQ and to flow control: FRCP retransmits and lets the peer pace the sender, per flow, end-to-end; the IPCP paces path aggregates. Each signal means one thing: a loss triggers a retransmission, a mark means congestion, the peer window means a slow receiver. Every flow is paced by the same rate law whatever its QoS, so a greedy raw sender shares a bottleneck fairly with a reliable stream. The unit of control is the (destination address, QoS cube) aggregate: all flows toward that destination share one controller and one rate; a start-time fair-queuing pacer divides the rate across them by deadline instead of blocking the send path, and a new flow rides the aggregate's estimates at its current rate, with no probing of its own. Slow start runs once per aggregate. The congestion signal is a multi-bit magnitude: forwarders mark packets with their standing queue depth, MAX-combined across hops, so a packet carries the deepest queue on its path. The receiver feeds back a time-integral mean over a window that adapts to the flow's byte rate, measuring a slow flow with the same fidelity as a fast one. The sender runs AIMD scaled by elapsed wall-clock time, which makes the steady-state allocation RTT-independent. The PCI gains one byte: the path capacity as a quarter-log2 code. Forwarders estimate their egress rate from busy-period drain and MIN-stamp the byte, the receiver returns the window minimum with its feedback, and the sender scales its rate floor and additive slope to the bottleneck (C / 32). A deep cut implies a backlogged bottleneck and a backlogged bottleneck advertises its capacity, so the scaled floor is live exactly when recovery needs it: the probe heals a halving in seconds at any link rate, and the floor bounds the deepest hole to a factor 32 below the bottleneck.

irmd: Pass MTU from IPCP to process for FRCT

2026-05-20T06:17:06+00:00

FRCT needs to know the MTU for fragmentation. The MTU is now passed from the layer serving the flow to the process as part of flow allocation. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

build: Fix invisible IPCP_TARGET variables

2026-02-13T08:22:29+00:00

The IPCP_*_TARGET variables (e.g., set(IPCP_LOCAL_TARGET ipcpd-local)) were defined locally in each IPCP's CMakeLists.txt (e.g., CMakeLists.txt), but the configure_file() that substitutes @IPCP_LOCAL_TARGET@ into config.h.in runs in a sibling scope that is processed before ipcpd. Since CMake variables don't propagate between sibling directory scopes, all @IPCP_*_TARGET@ substituted to empty strings, resulting in IPCP_LOCAL_EXEC "". Moved the IPCP_*_TARGET definitions into the cmake/config/ipcp/*.cmake files so they are known when generating config.h. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

build: Refactor CMake back to in-tree CMakeLists

2026-02-13T08:22:29+00:00

This moves the build definitions back to src/ subdirectories (CMakeLists.txt per component). Configuration and dependencies are kept out of tree. Configuration options are bundled into cmake/config/ modules. Dependencies are grouped by component (system/, crypt/, eth/, coverage/, etc.). It now consistently uses target-based commands (target_include_directories, target_link_libraries) instead of global include_directories(). Proper PRIVATE/PUBLIC visibility for executable link libraries. CONFIG_OUROBOROS_DEBUG now properly set based on being a valid debug config (not just checking the string name). It also adds OuroborosTargets export for find_package() support and CMake package config files (OuroborosConfig.cmake) for easier integration with CMake projects. The build logic now follows more idiomatic CMake practices with configuration separated from target definitions. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders
