doc: Add missing ecmp option

2020-05-01T12:37:32+00:00

The equal-cost multipath option wasn't mentioned in the Ouroboros man page. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Return number of written bytes on flow_write

2020-03-15T13:30:58+00:00

This is more in line with the write() system call and prepares for partial writes. Partial writes are disabled by default (and not yet implemented). Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Change return type of fevent to ssize_t

2020-03-15T13:26:49+00:00

The return type was still an int, but since it returns the number of events, it should be an ssize_t. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

irm: Revise naming API

2020-03-15T13:20:38+00:00

This revises the naming API to treat names (or reg_name in the source) as first-class citizens of the architecture. This is more in line with the way they are described in the article. Operations have been added to create/destroy names independently of registering. This was previously done only as part of register, and there was no way to delete a name from the IRMd. The create call now allows specifying a policy for load-balancing incoming flows for a name. The default is the new round-robin load-balancer, the previous behaviour is still available as a spillover load-balancer. The register calls will still create a name if it doesn't exist, with the default round-robin load-balancer. The tools now have a "name" section, so the format is now irm name ...

ouroboros: Rename service to ouroboros

2020-03-14T14:39:07+00:00

The service was called "irmd", but it makes a bit more sense to give it the system name. Only the service name is changed, the irmd binary remains irmd. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

doc: Remove pff option from irm man page

2020-02-16T17:21:52+00:00

The pff option was removed from irm tool in favor of selecting it from the routing policy. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

doc: Update manpage for binding

2020-01-18T11:10:42+00:00

The manpage mentions that bind works for programs, but not specify that these must be Ouroboros native programs. This is now added. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Add per-message encryption with OpenSSL

2019-08-03T10:10:57+00:00

This adds a per-message symmetric encryption using the OpenSSL library. At flow allocation, an Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman exchange is performed to derive a shared secret, which is then hashed using SHA3-256 to be used as a key for symmetric AES-256 encryption. Each message on an encrypted flow adds a small crypto header that includes a random 128-bit Initialization Vector (IV). If the server does not have OpenSSL enabled, the flow allocation will fail with an -ECRYPT error. Future optimizations are to piggyback the public keys on the flow allocation message, and to enable per-flow encryption that maintains the context of the encryption over multiple packets and doesn't require sending IVs.

doc: Update documentation to new website URL

2019-03-18T10:09:32+00:00

The documentation and package point to the imec site, which is now moved to ouroboros.rocks Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders
