* ipdpd: Pass MPL to application at flow_allocationDimitri Staessens2022-03-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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 <dimitri@ouroboros.rocks> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <sander@ouroboros.rocks>
* ipcpd: Make the DHT a directory policyDimitri Staessens2021-12-061-3/+3
| | | | | | | | The DHT is now a proper directory policy instead of a unicast IPCP component. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <dimitri@ouroboros.rocks> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <sander@ouroboros.rocks>
* ipcpd: Restructure policy codeDimitri Staessens2021-12-061-11/+12
| | | | | | | | The policies were all in a single folder pol/, and have been moved to a folder per component/mechanism to keep things a bit more orderly. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <dimitri@ouroboros.rocks> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <sander@ouroboros.rocks>
* build: Move connmgr and enrolment to common groundDimitri Staessens2021-03-281-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The connection manager and enrolment components of the unicast and broadcast IPCP have a lot in common, as conjectured in the paper. The initial implementation of the broadcast IPCP just duplicated the code. This moves the shared functionality to common ground.

* ipcpd: Add congestion avoidance policiesDimitri Staessens2020-12-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* 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). Path selection is round-robin. It does not yet take into account flows that are down.

* ipcpd: Rename hashtable to pftDimitri Staessens2020-02-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | This makes the hashtable more tailored to a packet forwarding table (PFT). In the end not much of a change was needed, but now it's clear the pft maps a destination address to a list of (outgoing) fds.

* lib: Move hashtable from lib to unicastDimitri Staessens2020-02-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The hashtable is only used for forwarding tables in the unicast IPCP. This moves the generic hashtable out of the library into the unicast IPCP to prepare a more tailored implementation specific to routing tables containing address lists.

* build: Refactor normal to unicastDimitri Staessens2019-07-291-0/+69
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 <dimitri@ouroboros.rocks> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <sander@ouroboros.rocks>
