ipcpd: Pass qoscube to ECN marking function

2020-12-20T12:36:44+00:00

The ECN marking function should be able to use the packet QoS to allow prioritizing traffic under congestion. Not yet implemented in MB-ECN. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Remove unused variable in MB-ECN policy

2020-12-12T10:38:05+00:00

The t_sent variable is a remnant from the first version and isn't needed anymore. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Pass previous ECN value in congestion API

2020-12-12T10:38:00+00:00

The previous value of the ECN field should be passed to the congestion notification function. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Use 64-bit flow endpoint IDs for DT

2020-12-07T17:39:48+00:00

The EIDs are now 64-bit. This makes it a tad harder to guess them (think of port scanning). The implementation has only the most significant 32 bits random to quickly map EIDs to N+1 flows. While this is equivalent to a random cookie as a check on flows, the rationale is that valid endpoint IDs should be pretty hard to guess (and thus be 64-bit random at least). Ideally one would use content-addressable memory for this kind of mapping. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Fix slow start in multi-bit (F)ECN policy

2020-12-07T17:39:45+00:00

There is a check not to rapidly double the window to astronomical sizes when there is no congestion experienced for long periods of time, but the if-else logic was botched and it still grew to astronomical sizes (albeit linear instead of exponential). I also lowered the ECN threshold a bit. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Remove DT-FA bypass on receiver side

2020-12-07T17:39:41+00:00

The DT will now post all packets for N+1 flows through the flow allocator component. This means that N+1 flows can be monitored through the flow allocator stats, and N-1 flows through the DT stats. The DT component still keeps stats for the local components (FA and DHT), but this can be removed once the DHT has its own RIB output. The flow allocator show statistics for Sent packets: total packets that were presented for sending on this specific flow Send failed: packets that were unable to be sent Received packets: total packets that were presented by the DT component on this specific flow Received failed: packets that were unable to be delivered These stats are presented as both packet counts and byte counts. To know how many were successful, the values for failed need to be subtracted from the values for total. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Fix off-by-one in Multi-bit (F)ECN policy

2020-12-05T15:01:16+00:00

Noticed an off-by-one in the packet counter because it was incremented before and the byte counter after the flow update. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Add RIB statistics for flow allocator

2020-12-05T15:00:21+00:00

The RIB will now show some stats for the flow allocator, including congestion avoidance statistics. This is needed before decoupling the data transfer component and the flow allocator as some current stats show in DT will move to FA. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders
