* ipcpd: Add congestion avoidance policiesDimitri Staessens2020-12-022-33/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds congestion avoidance policies to the unicast IPCP. The default policy is a multi-bit explicit congestion avoidance algorithm based on data-center TCP congestion avoidance (DCTCP) to relay information about the maximum queue depth that packets experienced to the receiver. There's also a "nop" policy to disable congestion avoidance for testing and benchmarking purposes. The (initial) API for congestion avoidance policies is: void * (* ctx_create)(void); void (* ctx_destroy)(void * ctx); These calls create / and or destroy a context for congestion control for a specific flow. Thread-safety of the context is the responsability of the flow allocator (operations on the ctx should be performed under a lock). ca_wnd_t (* ctx_update_snd)(void * ctx, size_t len); This is the sender call to update the context, and should be called for every packet that is sent on the flow. The len parameter in this API is the packet length, which allows calculating the bandwidth. It returns an opaque union type that is used for the call to check/wait if the congestion window is open or closed (and allowing to release locks before waiting). bool (* ctx_update_rcv)(void * ctx, size_t len, uint8_t ecn, uint16_t * ece); This is the call to update the flow congestion context on the receiver side. It should be called for every received packet. It gets the ecn value from the packet and its length, and returns the ECE (explicit congestion experienced) value to be sent to the sender in case of congestion. The boolean returned signals whether or not a congestion update needs to be sent. void (* ctx_update_ece)(void * ctx, uint16_t ece); This is the call for the sending side top update the context when it receives an ECE update from the receiver. void (* wnd_wait)(ca_wnd_t wnd); This is a (blocking) call that waits for the congestion window to clear. It should be stateless (to avoid waiting under locks). This may change later on if passing the context is needed for different algorithms. uint8_t (* calc_ecn)(int fd, size_t len); This is the call that intermediate IPCPs(routers) should use to update the ECN field on passing packets. The multi-bit ECN policy bases the value for the ECN field on the depth of the rbuff queue packets will be sent on. I created another call to grab the queue depth as fccntl is write-locking the application. We can further optimize this to avoid most locking on the rbuff.

* lib: Send and receive window updatesDimitri Staessens2020-10-111-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | This adds sending and receiving window updates for flow control.

* lib: Complete retransmission logicDimitri Staessens2020-09-251-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This completes the retransmission (automated repeat-request, ARQ) logic, sending (delayed) ACK messages when needed. On deallocation, flows will ACK try to retransmit any remaining unacknowledged messages (unless the FRCTFLINGER flag is turned off; this is on by default). Applications can safely shut down as soon as everything is ACK'd (i.e. the current Delta-t run is done). The activity timeout is now passed to the IPCP for it to sleep before completing deallocation (and releasing the flow_id). That should be moved to the IRMd in due time. The timerwheel is revised to be multi-level to reduce memory consumption. The resolution bumps by a factor of 1 << RXMQ_BUMP (16) and each level has RXMQ_SLOTS (1 << 8) slots. The lowest level has a resolution of (1 << RXMQ_RES) (20) ns, which is roughly a millisecond. Currently, 3 levels are defined, so the largest delay we can schedule at each level is: Level 0: 256ms Level 1: 4s Level 2: about a minute.

* irm: Revise naming APIDimitri Staessens2020-03-153-5/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 <operation> <name> ...

* lib, ipcpd: piggyback ECDHE on flow allocationDimitri Staessens2020-02-251-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | The initial implementation for the ECDHE key exchange was doing the key exchange after a flow was established. The public keys are now sent allowg on the flow allocation messages, so that an encrypted tunnel can be created within 1 RTT. The flow allocation steps had to be extended to pass the opaque data ('piggybacking').

* Add equal-cost multipath routing policyDimitri Staessens2020-02-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | 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).

* ipcpd: Configure PFF from routing policyDimitri Staessens2020-02-161-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* lib: Add per-message encryption with OpenSSLDimitri Staessens2019-08-033-12/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | This allows setting the size of the rbuffs in a system independently of the main packet buffer using SHM_RBUFF_SIZE.

* ipcpd: Revise UDP IPCPDimitri Staessens2019-03-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a simple round-trip time estimator to FRCT. The estimate is a weighted average with deviation. The retransmission is scheduled after rtt + 2 times the deviation. A retransmit doubles the rtt estimate to avoid the no-update case when rtt suddenly increases. The rtt is estimated in microseconds and the granularity for retransmits is 256 microseconds.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new flow_join operaiton for broadcast, which is a much safer solution than overloading destination name semantics. The internal API now also has a different IPCP_FLOW_JOIN operation. The IRMd doesn't need to query broadcasts IPCPs for the name, it can just check if an IPCP with the layer name exists.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds rudimentary support for sending and processing acknowledgments and doing retransmission. It replaces the generic timerwheel with a specific one for retransmission. This is currently a fixed wheel allowing retransmissions to be scheduled up to about 32 seconds into the future. It currently has an 8ms resolution. This could be made configurable in the future. Failures of the flow (i.e. rtx not working) are indicated by the rxmwheel_move() function returning a fd. This is currently not yet handled (maybe just setting the state of the flow to FLOWDOWN is a better solution). The shm_rdrbuff tracks the number of users of a du_buff. One user is the full stack, each retransmission will increment the refs counter (which effectively acts as a semaphore). The refs counter is decremented when a packet is acked. The du_buff is only allowed to be removed if there is only one user left (the "stack"). When a packet is retransmitted, it is copied in the rdrbuff. This is to ensure integrity of the packet when multiple layers do retransmission and it is passed down the stack again.
