39 * 1 ATS addresses : ATS address management
41 * This ATS addresses ("addresses") component manages the addresses known to
42 * ATS service and suggests addresses to transport service when it is
43 * interested in address suggestion for a peer. ATS addresses also
44 * instantiates the bandwidth assignment mechanism (solver), notifies it
45 * about changes to addresses and forwards changes to bandwidth assignments
46 * to transport, depending if transport is interested in this change.
52 * Addresses are added by specifying peer ID, plugin, address, address length
53 * and session, if available. ATS information can be specified if available.
57 * ATS specifies a fix set of networks an address can belong to. For each
58 * network an inbound and outbound quota will be specified. The available
59 * networks and addtional helper varaibles are defined in
60 * gnunet_ats_service.h. At the moment 5 networks are defined:
61 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_UNSPECIFIED
62 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_LOOPBACK
63 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_LAN
64 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_WAN
65 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_WLAN
67 * The total number of networks defined is stored in
68 * GNUNET_ATS_NetworkTypeCount GNUNET_ATS_NetworkType can be used array
69 * initializer for an int array, while GNUNET_ATS_NetworkType is an
70 * initializer for a char array containing a string description of all
75 * An inbound and outbound quota for each of the networks mentioned in 1.1.2
76 * is loaded from ats configuration during initialization. This quota defines
77 * to total amount of inbound and outbound traffic allowed for a specific
78 * network. The configuration values used are in section ats:
79 * * "NETWORK"_QUOTA_IN = <value>
80 * * "NETWORK"_QUOTA_IN = <value>
82 * You can specify quotas by setting the <value> to a:
83 * * unrestricted: unlimited
84 * * number of bytes: e.g. 10240
85 * * fancy value: e.g. 64 Kib
87 * unlimited is defined as GNUNET_ATS_MaxBandwidthString and equivalent to
88 * the value GNUNET_ATS_MaxBandwidth Important predefined values for quotas
90 * * GNUNET_ATS_DefaultBandwidth: 65536
91 * * GNUNET_ATS_MaxBandwidth: UINT32_MAX
92 * * GNUNET_CONSTANTS_DEFAULT_BW_IN_OUT: 1024
94 * Details of loading quotas and default values will be described on
96 * 1.1.4 Preference values
98 * 1.2 Data structures used
100 * Addresse uses struct ATS_Address for each address. The structs are stored
101 * in a linked list and provides a pointer void *solver_information for the
102 * solver to store address specific information. It provides the int values
103 * active which is set to GNUNET_YES if the address is select for transport
104 * use and used, representing that transport service is actively using this
105 * address. Address information are stored in peer, addr, addr_len, plugin.
109 * During initialization a hashmap to store addresses is created. The quotas
110 * for all networks defined for ATS are loaded from configuration. For each
111 * network first the logic will check if the string
112 * GNUNET_ATS_MaxBandwidthString is configured, if not it will try to convert
113 * the configured value as a fancy size and if this fails it will try to use
114 * it as a value_number. If no configuration value is found it will assign
115 * GNUNET_ATS_DefaultBandwidth. The most important step is to load the
116 * configured solver using configuration "[ats]:MODE". Current solvers are
117 * MODE_PROPORTIONAL, MODE_MLP. Interaction is done using a solver API
122 * * s_init: init the solver with required information
123 * * s_add: add a new address
124 * * s_update: update ATS values or session for an address
125 * * s_get: get prefered address for a peer
126 * * s_del: delete an address
127 * * s_pref: change preference value for a peer
128 * * s_done: shutdown solver
130 * Callbacks: addresses provides a bandwidth_changed_cb callback to the
131 * solver which is called when bandwidth assigned to peer has changed
135 * During shutdown all addresses are freed and the solver told to shutdown
137 * 1.6 Addresses and sessions
139 * Addresses consist of the address itself and a numerical session. When a
140 * new address without a session is added it has no session, so it gets
141 * session 0 assigned. When an address with a session is added and an address
142 * object with session 0 is found, this object is updated with the session
143 * otherwise a new address object with this session assigned is created.
147 * Addresses a1,a2 with session s1, s2 are "exact" if:
148 * (a1 == a2)&&(s1 == s2)
149 * Addresses a1,a2 with session s1, s2 are "equivalent" if:
150 * (a1 == a2)&&((s1 == s2)||(s1 == 0)||(s2 == 0)
152 * 1.7 Address management
154 * Transport service notifies ATS about changes to the addresses known to
157 * 1.7.1 Adding an address
159 * When transport learns a new address it tells ATS and ATS is telling
160 * addresses about it using GAS_address_add. If not known to addresses it
161 * creates a new address object and calls solver's s_add. ATS information are
162 * deserialized and solver is notified about the session and ATS information
165 * 1.7.2 Updating an address
167 * Addresses does an lookup up for the existing address with the given
168 * session. If disassembles included ATS information and notifies the solver
169 * using s_update about the update.
171 * 1.7.3 Deleting an address
173 * Addresses does an lookup for the exact address and session and if removes
174 * this address. If session != 0 the session is set to 0 and the address is
175 * kept. If session == 0, the addresses is removed.
177 * 1.7.4 Requesting an address suggestion
179 * The address client issues a request address message to be notified about
180 * address suggestions for a specific peer. Addresses asks the solver with
181 * s_get. If no address is available, it will not send a response, otherwise
182 * it will respond with the choosen address.
184 * 1.7.5 Address suggestions
186 * Addresses will notify the client automatically on any bandwidth_changed_cb
187 * by the solver if a address suggestion request is pending. If no address is
188 * available it will not respond at all If the client is not interested
189 * anymore, it has to cancel the address suggestion request.
191 * 1.7.6 Suggestions blocks and reset
193 * After suggesting an address it is blocked for ATS_BLOCKING_DELTA sec. to
194 * prevent the client from being thrashed. If the client requires immediately
195 * it can reset this block using GAS_addresses_handle_backoff_reset.
197 * 1.7.7 Address lifecycle
200 * * (updated address)
203 * 1.8 Bandwidth assignment
205 * The addresses are used to perform resource allocation operations. ATS
206 * addresses takes care of instantiating the solver configured and notifies
207 * the respective solver about address changes and receives changes to the
208 * bandwidth assignment from the solver. The current bandwidth assignment is
209 * sent to transport. The specific solvers will be described in the specific
212 * 1.9 Changing peer preferences
214 * The bandwidth assigned to a peer can be influenced by setting a preference
215 * for a peer. The prefernce will be given to to the solver with s_pref which
216 * has to take care of the preference value
