irm: Revise naming API

2020-03-15T13:20:38+00:00

This revises the naming API to treat names (or reg_name in the source) as first-class citizens of the architecture. This is more in line with the way they are described in the article. Operations have been added to create/destroy names independently of registering. This was previously done only as part of register, and there was no way to delete a name from the IRMd. The create call now allows specifying a policy for load-balancing incoming flows for a name. The default is the new round-robin load-balancer, the previous behaviour is still available as a spillover load-balancer. The register calls will still create a name if it doesn't exist, with the default round-robin load-balancer. The tools now have a "name" section, so the format is now irm name ...

ouroboros: Rename service to ouroboros

2020-03-14T14:39:07+00:00

The service was called "irmd", but it makes a bit more sense to give it the system name. Only the service name is changed, the irmd binary remains irmd. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

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
