48 * Possible state of a neighbour. Initially, we are #S_NOT_CONNECTED.
50 * Then, there are two main paths. If we receive a CONNECT message, we
51 * first run a check against the blacklist (#S_CONNECT_RECV_BLACKLIST_INBOUND).
52 * If this check is successful, we give the inbound address to ATS.
53 * After the check we ask ATS for a suggestion (S_CONNECT_RECV_ATS).
54 * If ATS makes a suggestion, we ALSO give that suggestion to the blacklist
55 * (#S_CONNECT_RECV_BLACKLIST). Once the blacklist approves the
56 * address we got from ATS, we send our CONNECT_ACK and go to
57 * #S_CONNECT_RECV_ACK. If we receive a SESSION_ACK, we go to
58 * #S_CONNECTED (and notify everyone about the new connection). If the
59 * operation times out, we go to #S_DISCONNECT.
61 * The other case is where we transmit a CONNECT message first. We
62 * start with #S_INIT_ATS. If we get an address, we enter
63 * #S_INIT_BLACKLIST and check the blacklist. If the blacklist is OK
64 * with the connection, we actually send the CONNECT message and go to
65 * state S_CONNECT_SENT. Once we receive a CONNECT_ACK, we go to
66 * #S_CONNECTED (and notify everyone about the new connection and send
67 * back a SESSION_ACK). If the operation times out, we go to
70 * If the session is in trouble (i.e. transport-level disconnect or
71 * timeout), we go to #S_RECONNECT_ATS where we ask ATS for a new
72 * address (we don't notify anyone about the disconnect yet). Once we
73 * have a new address, we go to #S_RECONNECT_BLACKLIST to check the new
74 * address against the blacklist. If the blacklist approves, we enter
75 * #S_RECONNECT_SENT and send a CONNECT message. If we receive a
76 * CONNECT_ACK, we go to #S_CONNECTED and nobody noticed that we had
77 * trouble; we also send a SESSION_ACK at this time just in case. If
78 * the operation times out, we go to S_DISCONNECT (and notify everyone
79 * about the lost connection).
81 * If ATS decides to switch addresses while we have a normal
82 * connection, we go to #S_CONNECTED_SWITCHING_BLACKLIST to check the
83 * new address against the blacklist. If the blacklist approves, we
84 * go to #S_CONNECTED_SWITCHING_CONNECT_SENT and send a
85 * SESSION_CONNECT. If we get a SESSION_ACK back, we switch the
86 * primary connection to the suggested alternative from ATS, go back
87 * to #S_CONNECTED and send a SESSION_ACK to the other peer just to be
88 * sure. If the operation times out (or the blacklist disapproves),
89 * we go to #S_CONNECTED (and notify ATS that the given alternative
90 * address is "invalid").
92 * Once a session is in #S_DISCONNECT, it is cleaned up and then goes
93 * to (#S_DISCONNECT_FINISHED). If we receive an explicit disconnect
94 * request, we can go from any state to #S_DISCONNECT, possibly after
95 * generating disconnect notifications.
97 * Note that it is quite possible that while we are in any of these
98 * states, we could receive a 'CONNECT' request from the other peer.
99 * We then enter a 'weird' state where we pursue our own primary state
100 * machine (as described above), but with the 'send_connect_ack' flag
101 * set to 1. If our state machine allows us to send a 'CONNECT_ACK'
102 * (because we have an acceptable address), we send the 'CONNECT_ACK'
103 * and set the 'send_connect_ack' to 2. If we then receive a
104 * 'SESSION_ACK', we go to #S_CONNECTED (and reset 'send_connect_ack'
