-title: "Tutorial 1: local test"
-draft: false
----
-
-This tutorial runs through the basics of Ouroboros. Here, we will see
-the general use of two core components of Ouroboros, the IPC Resource
-Manager daemon (IRMd) and an IPC Process (IPCP).
-
-![Tutorial 1 setup](/images/ouroboros_tut1_overview.png)
-
-We will start the IRMd, create a local IPCP, start a ping server and
-connect a client. This will involve **binding (1)** that server to a
-name and **registering (2)** that name into the local layer. After that
-the client will be able to **allocate a flow (3)** to that name for
-which the server will respond.
-
-We recommend to open 3 terminal windows for this tutorial. In the first
-window, start the IRMd (as a superuser) in stdout mode. The output shows
-the process id (pid) of the IRMd, which will be different on your
-machine.
-
-```
-$ sudo irmd --stdout
-==02301== irmd(II): Ouroboros IPC Resource Manager daemon started\...
-```
-
-The type of IPCP we will create is a "local" IPCP. The local IPCP is a
-kind of loopback interface that is native to Ouroboros. It implements
-all the functions that the Ouroboros API provides, but only for a local
-scope. The IPCP create function will instantiate a new local IPC
-process, which in our case has pid 2324. The "ipcp create" command
-merely creates the IPCP. At this point it is not a part of a layer. We
-will also need to bootstrap this IPCP in a layer, we will name it
-"local_layer". As a shortcut, the bootstrap command will
-automatically create an IPCP if no IPCP by than name exists, so in this
-case, the IPCP create command is optional. In the second terminal, enter
-the commands:
-
-```
-$ irm ipcp create type local name local_ipcp
-$ irm ipcp bootstrap type local name local_ipcp layer local_layer
-```
-
-The IRMd and ipcpd output in the first terminal reads:
-
-```
-==02301== irmd(II): Created IPCP 2324.
-==02324== ipcpd-local(II): Bootstrapped local IPCP with pid 2324.
-==02301== irmd(II): Bootstrapped IPCP 2324 in layer local_layer.
-```
-
-From the third terminal window, let's start our oping application in
-server mode ("oping --help" shows oping command line parameters):
-
-```
-$ oping --listen
-Ouroboros ping server started.
-```
-
-The IRMd will notice that an oping server with pid 10539 has started:
-
-```
-==02301== irmd(DB): New instance (10539) of oping added.
-==02301== irmd(DB): This process accepts flows for:
-```
-
-The server application is not yet reachable by clients. Next we will
-bind the server to a name and register that name in the
-"local_layer". The name for the server can be chosen at will, let's
-take "oping_server". In the second terminal window, execute:
-
-```
-$ irm bind proc 2337 name oping_server
-$ irm register name oping_server layer local_layer
-```
-
-The IRMd and IPCPd in terminal one will now acknowledge that the name is
-bound and registered:
-
-```
-==02301== irmd(II): Bound process 2337 to name oping_server.
-==02324== ipcpd-local(II): Registered 4721372d.
-==02301== irmd(II): Registered oping_server in local_layer as
-4721372d.
-```
-
-Ouroboros registers name not in plaintext but using a (configurable)
-hashing algorithm. The default hash is a 256 bit SHA3 hash. The output
-in the logs is truncated to the first 4 bytes in a HEX notation.
-
-Now that we have bound and registered our server, we can connect from
-the client. In the second terminal window, start an oping client with
-destination oping_server and it will begin pinging:
-
-```
-$ oping -n oping_server -c 5
-Pinging oping_server with 64 bytes of data:
-
-64 bytes from oping_server: seq=0 time=0.694 ms
-64 bytes from oping_server: seq=1 time=0.364 ms
-64 bytes from oping_server: seq=2 time=0.190 ms
-64 bytes from oping_server: seq=3 time=0.269 ms
-64 bytes from oping_server: seq=4 time=0.351 ms
-
---- oping_server ping statistics ---
-5 SDUs transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time: 5001.744 ms
-rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.190/0.374/0.694/0.192 ms
-```
-
-The server will acknowledge that it has a new flow connected on flow
-descriptor 64, which will time out a few seconds after the oping client
-stops sending:
-
-```
-New flow 64.
-Flow 64 timed out.
-```
-
-The IRMd and IPCP logs provide some additional output detailing the flow
-allocation process:
-
-```
-==02324== ipcpd-local(DB): Allocating flow to 4721372d on fd 64.
-==02301== irmd(DB): Flow req arrived from IPCP 2324 for 4721372d.
-==02301== irmd(II): Flow request arrived for oping_server.
-==02324== ipcpd-local(II): Pending local allocation request on fd 64.
-==02301== irmd(II): Flow on port_id 0 allocated.
-==02324== ipcpd-local(II): Flow allocation completed, fds (64, 65).
-==02301== irmd(II): Flow on port_id 1 allocated.
-==02301== irmd(DB): New instance (2337) of oping added.
-==02301== irmd(DB): This process accepts flows for:
-==02301== irmd(DB): oping_server
-```
-
-First, the IPCPd shows that it will allocate a flow towards a
-destination hash "4721372d" (truncated). The IRMd logs that IPCPd 2324
-(our local IPCPd) requests a flow towards any process that is listening
-for "4721372d", and resolves it to "oping_server", as that is a
-process that is bound to that name. At this point, the local IPCPd has a
-pending flow on the client side. Since this is the first port_id in the
-system, it has port_id 0. The server will accept the flow and the other
-end of the flow gets port_id 1. The local IPCPd sees that the flow
-allocation is completed. Internally it sees the endpoints as flow
-descriptors 64 and 65 which map to port_id 0 and port_id 1. The IPCP
-cannot directly access port_ids, they are assigned and managed by the
-IRMd. After it has accepted the flow, the oping server enters
-flow_accept() again. The IRMd notices the instance and reports that it
-accepts flows for "oping_server".
-
-This concludes this first short tutorial. All running processes can be
-terminated by issuing a Ctrl-C command in their respective terminals or
-you can continue with the next tutorial.
