ipdpd: Pass MPL to application at flow_allocation

2022-03-08T16:40:17+00:00

The maximum packet lifetime (MPL) is a property of the flow that needs to be passed to the reliable transmission protocol (FRCP) for its correct operation. Previously, the value of MPL was set fixed as one of the (fixed) Delta-t parameters. This patch makes the MPL a property of the layer, and it can now be set per layer-type at build time. This is a step towards a proper MPL estimator in the flow allocator. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Make flow liveness timeout configurable

2022-03-03T11:00:54+00:00

The qosspec_t now has a timeout value that sets the timeout value of the flow. Flows with a peer that has timed out will now return -EFLOWPEER on flow_read() or flow_write(). Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Fix waiting for FRCP to time out

2021-12-22T15:34:56+00:00

The timeout variable was not correctly passed to the IPCP, causing flow IDs to be reused immediately instead of waiting for the full Delta-t to expire. This caused all kinds of havoc with retransmissions in reliable flows. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Pass full path for RIB entries

2021-06-29T06:56:03+00:00

The read functions for the RIB will now receive the full path, instead of only the entry name. For IPCPs, we organized the RIB in an ///entries structure with a directory per component, so we don't need the full path at this point. For process flow information, it's a lot more convenient to organize it the following way ///stat We can then register/unregister the flow descriptor when the frct instance is created, and for getting the stats, we'd know the flow descriptor from the fuse file path. If we would create a file per flow instead of a directory per flow, something like //flows/ we'd need to do additional bookkeeping to list the contents of that directory (we would need to track all flows with an active FRCT instance), that fuse knows because it tracks the directories.

lib: Remove struct stat from RIB API

2021-06-28T13:29:19+00:00

The RIB API had a struct stat in the getattr() function, which made all components that exposed variables via the RIB dependent on . The rib now has its own struct rib_attr to set attributes such as size and last modified time. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib, ipcpd, irmd: Wrap pthread unlocks for cleanup

2021-06-23T06:36:48+00:00

This add an ouroboros/pthread.h header that wraps the pthread_..._unlock() functions for cleanup using pthread_cleanup_push() as this casting is not safe (and there were definitely bad casts in the code). The close() function is now also wrapped for cleanup in ouroboros/sockets.h. This allows enabling more compiler checks. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

build: Remove raptor IPCP

2021-03-28T10:46:05+00:00

This removes the raptor IPCP. The code hasn't been updated for a while, and wouldn't compile. Raptor served its purpose as a PoC for Ouroboros-over-Ethernet-Layer-1, but giving the extreme niche hardware needed to run it, it's not worth maintaining this anymore.

ipcpd: Single UDP port for the ipcpd-udp

2021-01-03T10:59:59+00:00

The UDP layer will now use a single (configurable) UDP port, default 3435. This makes it easer to allocate flows as a client from behind a NAT firewall without having to configure port forwarding rules. So basically, from now on Ouroboros traffic is transported over a bidirectional : UDP tunnel. The reason for not using/allowing different client/server ports is that it would require reading from different sockets using select() or something similar, but since we need the EID anyway (mgmt packets arrive on the same server UDP port), there's not a lot of benefit in doing it. Now the operation is similar to the ipcpd-eth, with the port somewhat functioning as a "layer name", where in UDP, the Ethertype functions as a "layer name".
