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 ...

Add equal-cost multipath routing policy

2020-02-16T17:32:21+00:00

This adds an equal-cost multipath routing policy to Ouroboros, based on Nick Aerts' code. When selected, flows will send packets over all paths with equal cost (hop count). Path selection is round-robin. It does not yet take into account flows that are down. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Configure PFF from routing policy

2020-02-16T17:21:41+00:00

The Packet Forwarding Function (PFF) was user-configurable using the irm tool. However, this isn't really wanted since the PFF is dictated by the routing algorithm. This moves the responsability for selecting the correct PFF from the network admin to the unicast IPCP implementation. Each routing policy now has to specify which PFF it will use.

build: Refactor normal to unicast

2019-07-29T17:36:45+00:00

This completes the renaming of the normal IPCP to the unicast IPCP in the sources, to get everything consistent with the documentation. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Revise UDP IPCP

2019-03-18T10:09:31+00:00

The UDP IPCP now uses a fixed server UDP port (default 3435) for all communications. This allows passing firewalls more easily since only a single port needs to be opened. The client port can be fixed as well if needed (default random). It uses an internal eid, so the MTU of the UDP layer is reduced by 4 bytes, similar to the Ethernet IPCPs.

tools: Allow enrollment with destination IPCP

2019-01-16T11:10:15+00:00

The irm enroll tool had a semantic to enroll with a layer name, but this is not checked. Now the enroll command will retrieve the correct layer name that the IPCP got from the actual enrollment procedure. The irm enroll now has two string parameters, a dst and a layer, which cannot be both NULL. If only dst is specified, the IPCP will enroll with that name; autobind will bind with the layer name. If only layer is specified, the IPCP will enroll with the layer name, and perform a check that the layer name retrieved from enrollment is indeed the layer name before possibly autobinding. If both dst and layer are specified, the IPCP will enroll with dst and perform a check that the enrollment was in the expected layer. Basically only specifying the layer name is a shorthand for dst == layer. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

tools: Rename "normal" to "unicast"

ipcpd: Add broadcast IPCP

2018-10-24T09:58:49+00:00

This adds a broadcast IPCP that allows us to easily create multicast applications. The broadcast IPCP accepts flows for ".mc". A tool, obc (Ouroboros broadcast), is added that sends and reads a message to a broadcast layer. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders
