* lib: Add Rendez-Vous mechanism for flow controlDimitri Staessens2020-10-111-28/+128
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the rendez-vous mechanism to handle the case where the sending window is closed and window updates get lost. If the sending window is closed, the sender side will send an RDVS every DELT_RDV time (100ms), and give up after MAX_RDV time (1 second). Upon reception of a RDVS packet, a window update is sent immediately. We can make this much more configurable later on (build options for defaults, fccntl for runtime tuning).

* lib: Block on closed flow control windowDimitri Staessens2020-10-111-5/+104
| | | | | | | | | | | If the sending window for flow control is closed, the sending application will now block until the window opens. Beware that until the rendez-vous mechanism is implemented, shutting down a server while the client is sending (with non-timed-out blocking write) will cause the client to hang indefinitely because its window will close.

* lib: Send and receive window updatesDimitri Staessens2020-10-111-9/+35
| | | | | | | | | This adds sending and receiving window updates for flow control. I used the 8 pad bits as part of the window update field, so it's 24 bits, allowing for ~16 million packets in flight.

* lib: Add compiler configuration for FRCPDimitri Staessens2020-10-111-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows configuring some parameters for FRCP at compile time, such as default values for Delta-t and configuration of the timerwheel. The timerwheel will now reschedule when it fails to create a packet, instead of setting the flow down immediately. Some new things added are options to store packets for retransmission on the heap, and using non-blocking calls for retransmission. The defaults do not change the current behaviour.

* lib: Complete retransmission logicDimitri Staessens2020-09-251-97/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* lib: Allow pure acknowledgment packets in FRCTDimitri Staessens2020-06-061-96/+230
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the logic to send a pure acknowledgment packet without any data to send. This needed the event filter for the fqueue, as these non-data packets should not trigger application PKT events. The default timeout is now 10ms, until we have FRCP tuning as part of fccntl. Karn's algorithm seems to be very unstable with low (sub-ms) RTT estimates. Doubling RTO (every RTO) seems still too slow to prevent rtx storms when the measured rtt suddenly spikes several orders of magnitude. Just assuming the ACK'd packet is the last one transmitted seems to be a lot more stable. It can lead to temporary underestimation, but this is not a throughput-killer in FRCP. Changes most time units to nanoseconds for faster computation. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <[email protected]>
* lib: Refactor FRCTDimitri Staessens2020-05-041-39/+33
| | | | | | | | | | This is a small refactor of FRCT because I found some things a bit hard to read. I tried to refactor frcti_rcv to always queue the packet, but that causes unnecessarily retaking the lock when calling queued_pdu and thus returning idx is a tiny bit faster.

* lib: Create an rxmwheel per flowDimitri Staessens2020-05-021-37/+49
| | | | | | | | | The single retransmission wheel caused locking headaches as the calls for different flows could block on the same rxmwheel. This stabilizes the stack, but if the rdrbuff gets full there can now be big delays. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <[email protected]>
* lib: Fix updating retransmission wheelDimitri Staessens2020-05-011-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Fixes infinite rescheduling with RTO getting lower than the timerwheel resolution. For very low RTO values we'd need a big packet buffer with the current memory allocator implementation (rdrbuff). Setting a (configurable) minimum RTO (250 us) reduces this need.

* lib: Stabilize FRCP under packet loss conditions0.17.3Dimitri Staessens2020-04-301-44/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | There were a bunch of bugs in FRCP that urgently needed fixing. Now data QoS is usable even with heavy packet loss (within some parameters). The current RTT estimator is the IETF one. It should be updated to the improved one used in the Linux kernel once the A-timer (ACKs without data) and graceful shutdown are implemented.

* lib, ipcpd: piggyback ECDHE on flow allocationDimitri Staessens2020-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | 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'). Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <[email protected]>

* lib: Add initial rtt estimator to FRCTDimitri Staessens2019-02-081-12/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * lib: Keep track of highest delivered seqnoDimitri Staessens2018-10-061-14/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The FRCT kept only a left window edge in the receiver connection window, however, it needs to keep track of the left window edge (highest ACK'd sequence number) and the highest delivered sequence number, so it can delay ACKs that cannot be piggybacked. TCP recommends at most 500 ms for delayed ACKs (probably good to keep it near half of RTO). Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <[email protected]>

* | lib: Support for rudimentary retransmissionDimitri Staessens2018-07-271-35/+38
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the variable FRCT header with a packed struct, which significantly simplifies the implementation. The shm_du_buff calls to release the head/tail are updated to return a pointer to the original head or the new tail (in symmetry to the alloc calls, which return a pointer to the new head and old tail), so that it immediately points to the structure that is needed. The frct_pci sources are removed and frct is now fully in the frct.c source file. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders <[email protected]>
* lib: Refactor FRCT implementationDimitri Staessens2017-11-071-0/+320
The frct_pci and rq headers are moved from include/ouroboros to src/lib since they are only needed in the library. FRCT is moved to its own source file. FRCT takes the application PDUs, encapsulates and processes them and hands them back. This makes it easier to disable FRCT should the application want to write to a "raw" flow. An FRCT instance is now allocated upon alloc and released upon dealloc. The FRCT data structure is split into a sender and receiver connection record. Setting a new configuration will now be done upon sending the next data PDU, which will flag the DRF for a new run and use that configuration. This avoids some issues should packets arrive out-of-order, and simplifies setting a configuration.
