ipcpd: Revise UDP IPCP

2019-03-18T10:09:31+00:00

The UDP IPCP now uses a fixed server UDP port (default 3435) for all communications. This allows passing firewalls more easily since only a single port needs to be opened. The client port can be fixed as well if needed (default random). It uses an internal eid, so the MTU of the UDP layer is reduced by 4 bytes, similar to the Ethernet IPCPs.

lib: Simplify reg/unreg API

2018-03-22T11:36:58+00:00

The reg/unreg API is simplified to registering and unregistering a single name with a single IPCP. The functionality associated with registering names was moved from the IRMd to the irm tool. The function to list IPCPs was simplified to return all IPCPs in the system with their basic properties needed for management. The above changes led to some needed changes in the irm tool and the management functions that were depending on the previous behaviour of list_ipcps. Command line functionality to list IPCPs in the system is also added to the irm tool. Some older code was refactored. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Add IPCP over DIX Ethernet

2018-03-10T12:16:06+00:00

This adds an IPC Process that uses DIX Ethernet with an Ethertype that is configurable at bootstrap. This allows parallel DIX layers over the same Ethernet network with different Ethertypes (and one LLC layer). It allows jumbo frames in the future, and should avoid the problems we have with some routers not handling LLC traffic very well. The destination endpoint ID is sent as a 16 bit integer, so the maximum payload is 1498 bytes in standard Ethernet, and 8998 bytes when Jumbo frames are used. The implementation is very similar to the Ethernet LLC IPCP, so it is implemented using preprocessor macros in the single source instead of duplicating code.

ipcpd: Revise Data Transfer component

2018-02-13T18:15:07+00:00

This makes the TTL non-optional and allows the maximum (initial) value of the TTL to be specified at bootstrap (the default is set to 60). The fd in the DT PCI is now called EID (Endpoint ID). The names "dif" and "ae" have been replaced by "layer" and "component" respectively in all sources. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Use the term "layer" and deprecate "shim"

2017-12-19T09:27:02+00:00

This changes the terminology to use layer instead of DIF and deprecate the word "shim" for the IPCPs that attach to Ethernet LLC and UDP .The terminology has not yet been changed in the variable names etc. This reflects the design choices in Ouroboros to make IPCPs pure resource allocators instead of also providing an "IPC service". The Ouroboros IPCPs that attach to Ethernet and UDP implement the allocator and are thus not really shims. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders
