* ipcpd: Add dt component to regular startup flowDimitri Staessens2021-12-061-16/+9
| | | | | | | | | The dt component had init/start commands somewhat outside of the overall flow of startup of the unicast IPCP. This was probably some old code and wasn't needed. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <[email protected]>
* ipcpd: Restructure policy codeDimitri Staessens2021-12-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | 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 <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <[email protected]>
* ipcpd: Move RIB initialization to common groundDimitri Staessens2021-06-211-11/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves Resource Information Base (RIB) initialization into the ipcp_init() function, so all IPCPs initialize a RIB. The RIB not shows some common IPCP information, such as the IPCP name, IPCP state and the layer name if the IPCP is part of a layer. The initialization of the hash algorithm and layer name was moved out of the common ipcp source because IPCPs may only know this information after enrollment. Some IPCPs were not even storing this information. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <[email protected]>
* build: Move connmgr and enrolment to common groundDimitri Staessens2021-03-281-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | 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/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* build: Add support for GCC 100.17.5Dimitri Staessens2020-05-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | GCC 10 defaults to -fno-common, so some variables that were defined in the headers needed to be declared "extern". The GCC 10 static analyzer can now be invoked using the DebugAnalyzer build option. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <[email protected]>
* ipcpd: Configure PFF from routing policyDimitri Staessens2020-02-161-1/+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.
