41 * 1 ATS addresses : ATS address management
43 * This ATS addresses ("addresses") component manages the addresses known to
44 * ATS service and suggests addresses to transport service when it is
45 * interested in address suggestion for a peer. ATS addresses also
46 * instantiates the bandwidth assignment mechanism (solver), notifies it
47 * about changes to addresses and forwards changes to bandwidth assignments
48 * to transport, depending if transport is interested in this change.
54 * Addresses are added by specifying peer ID, plugin, address, address length
55 * and session, if available. ATS information can be specified if available.
59 * ATS specifies a fix set of networks an address can belong to. For each
60 * network an inbound and outbound quota will be specified. The available
61 * networks and addtional helper varaibles are defined in
62 * gnunet_ats_service.h. At the moment 5 networks are defined:
63 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_UNSPECIFIED
64 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_LOOPBACK
65 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_LAN
66 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_WAN
67 * * GNUNET_ATS_NET_WLAN
69 * The total number of networks defined is stored in
70 * GNUNET_ATS_NetworkTypeCount GNUNET_ATS_NetworkType can be used array
71 * initializer for an int array, while GNUNET_ATS_NetworkType is an
72 * initializer for a char array containing a string description of all
77 * An inbound and outbound quota for each of the networks mentioned in 1.1.2
78 * is loaded from ats configuration during initialization. This quota defines
79 * to total amount of inbound and outbound traffic allowed for a specific
80 * network. The configuration values used are in section ats:
81 * * "NETWORK"_QUOTA_IN = <value>
82 * * "NETWORK"_QUOTA_IN = <value>
84 * You can specify quotas by setting the <value> to a:
85 * * unrestricted: unlimited
86 * * number of bytes: e.g. 10240
87 * * fancy value: e.g. 64 Kib
89 * unlimited is defined as GNUNET_ATS_MaxBandwidthString and equivalent to
90 * the value GNUNET_ATS_MaxBandwidth Important predefined values for quotas
92 * * GNUNET_ATS_DefaultBandwidth: 65536
93 * * GNUNET_ATS_MaxBandwidth: UINT32_MAX
94 * * GNUNET_CONSTANTS_DEFAULT_BW_IN_OUT: 1024
96 * Details of loading quotas and default values will be described on
98 * 1.1.4 Preference values
100 * 1.2 Data structures used
102 * Addresse uses struct ATS_Address for each address. The structs are stored
103 * in a linked list and provides a pointer void *solver_information for the
104 * solver to store address specific information. It provides the int values
105 * active which is set to GNUNET_YES if the address is select for transport
106 * use and used, representing that transport service is actively using this
107 * address. Address information are stored in peer, addr, addr_len, plugin.
111 * During initialization a hashmap to store addresses is created. The quotas
112 * for all networks defined for ATS are loaded from configuration. For each
113 * network first the logic will check if the string
114 * GNUNET_ATS_MaxBandwidthString is configured, if not it will try to convert
115 * the configured value as a fancy size and if this fails it will try to use
116 * it as a value_number. If no configuration value is found it will assign
117 * GNUNET_ATS_DefaultBandwidth. The most important step is to load the
118 * configured solver using configuration "[ats]:MODE". Current solvers are
119 * MODE_PROPORTIONAL, MODE_MLP. Interaction is done using a solver API
124 * * s_init: init the solver with required information
125 * * s_add: add a new address
126 * * s_update: update ATS values or session for an address
127 * * s_get: get prefered address for a peer
128 * * s_del: delete an address
129 * * s_pref: change preference value for a peer
130 * * s_done: shutdown solver
132 * Callbacks: addresses provides a bandwidth_changed_cb callback to the
133 * solver which is called when bandwidth assigned to peer has changed
137 * During shutdown all addresses are freed and the solver told to shutdown
139 * 1.6 Addresses and sessions
141 * Addresses consist of the address itself and a numerical session. When a
142 * new address without a session is added it has no session, so it gets
143 * session 0 assigned. When an address with a session is added and an address
144 * object with session 0 is found, this object is updated with the session
145 * otherwise a new address object with this session assigned is created.
149 * Addresses a1,a2 with session s1, s2 are "exact" if:
150 * (a1 == a2)&&(s1 == s2)
151 * Addresses a1,a2 with session s1, s2 are "equivalent" if:
152 * (a1 == a2)&&((s1 == s2)||(s1 == 0)||(s2 == 0)
154 * 1.7 Address management
156 * Transport service notifies ATS about changes to the addresses known to
159 * 1.7.1 Adding an address
161 * When transport learns a new address it tells ATS and ATS is telling
162 * addresses about it using GAS_address_add. If not known to addresses it
163 * creates a new address object and calls solver's s_add. ATS information are
164 * deserialized and solver is notified about the session and ATS information
167 * 1.7.2 Updating an address
169 * Addresses does an lookup up for the existing address with the given
170 * session. If disassembles included ATS information and notifies the solver
171 * using s_update about the update.
173 * 1.7.3 Deleting an address
175 * Addresses does an lookup for the exact address and session and if removes
176 * this address. If session != 0 the session is set to 0 and the address is
177 * kept. If session == 0, the addresses is removed.
179 * 1.7.4 Requesting an address suggestion
181 * The address client issues a request address message to be notified about
182 * address suggestions for a specific peer. Addresses asks the solver with
183 * s_get. If no address is available, it will not send a response, otherwise
184 * it will respond with the choosen address.
186 * 1.7.5 Address suggestions
188 * Addresses will notify the client automatically on any bandwidth_changed_cb
189 * by the solver if a address suggestion request is pending. If no address is
190 * available it will not respond at all If the client is not interested
191 * anymore, it has to cancel the address suggestion request.
193 * 1.7.6 Suggestions blocks and reset
195 * After suggesting an address it is blocked for ATS_BLOCKING_DELTA sec. to
196 * prevent the client from being thrashed. If the client requires immediately
197 * it can reset this block using GAS_addresses_handle_backoff_reset.
199 * 1.7.7 Marking address in use
201 * The client can notify addresses that it successfully uses an address and
202 * wants this address to be kept by calling GSA_address_in_use. Adresses will
203 * mark the address as used an notify the solver about the use.
205 * 1.7.8 Address lifecycle
208 * * (updated address) || (address in use)
211 * 1.8 Bandwidth assignment
213 * The addresses are used to perform resource allocation operations. ATS
214 * addresses takes care of instantiating the solver configured and notifies
215 * the respective solver about address changes and receives changes to the
216 * bandwidth assignment from the solver. The current bandwidth assignment is
217 * sent to transport. The specific solvers will be described in the specific
220 * 1.9 Changing peer preferences
222 * The bandwidth assigned to a peer can be influenced by setting a preference
223 * for a peer. The prefernce will be given to to the solver with s_pref which
