* ipcpd: Update DHT for unicast layerDimitri Staessens2 days1-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a rewrite of the DHT for name-to-address resolution in the unicast layer. It is now integrated as a proper directory policy. The dir_wait_running function is removed, instead the a DHT peer is passed on during IPCP enrolment. Each DHT request/response gets a random 64-bit ID ('cookie'). DHT messages to the same peer are deduped, except in the case when the DHT is low on contacts. In that case, it will contact the per it received at enrolment for more contacts. To combat packet loss, these messages are not deduped by means of a 'magic cookie', chosen at random when the DHT starts. The DHT parameters (Kademlia) can be set using the configfile or the IRM command line tools: if DIRECTORY_POLICY == DHT [dht_alpha <search factor> (default: 3)] [dht_k <replication factor> (default: 8)] [dht_t_expire <expiration (s)> (default: 86400)] [dht_t_refresh <contact refresh (s)> (default: 900)] [dht_t_replicate <replication (s)> (default: 900)] This commit also adds support for a protocol debug level (PP). Protocol debugging for the DHT can be enabled using the DEBUG_PROTO_DHT build flag. The DHT has the following message types: DHT_STORE, sent to k peers. Not acknowledged. DHT_STORE --> [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4]. key: bcc236ab6ec69e65 [32 bytes] val: 00000000c4e2d9ed [8 bytes] exp: 2025-08-03 17:29:44 (UTC). DHT_FIND_NODE_REQ, sent to 'alpha' peers, with a corresponding response. This is used to update the peer routing table to iteratively look for the nodes with IDs closest to the requested key.

* ipcpd: Add congestion avoidance policiesDimitri Staessens2020-12-021-0/+99
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.
