0.9.0pre0:
* TRANSPORT:
- - TCP not used bi-directionally (especially important also for PONG!)
- Need a way for plugin to tell to service that it can *reliably* transmit
- PONGs. Need *good* way to ensure only one (plugin) session is active at
- any given point in time; need systematic way to periodically probe latency/
- transport cost changes
- - disconnect notifications from TCP not always as nice as we might want
- them to be (but how can we do this cleanly given that UDP is connectionless?)
- implement transport API to pretty-print transport address
- + resolve cyclic dependency (gnunet-peerinfo -> transport_api -> peerinfo!)
- + gnunet-transport-service crashes when asked to resolve address (!)
+ asynchronous transport lookup and non-CPS iterator in peerinfo require
some work to ensure printing in the proper order...
- - instantly filter addresses from *other* peers that
- are *equal* to our own address + port (i.e., localhost:2086). We
- no longer filter those for outgoing (helps with loopback testing
- and keeps the code clean), but we should filter strictly *impossible*
- incoming addresses! This is for efficiency, not correctness.
- - [./transport/gnunet-service-transport.c:173]: (style) struct or union member 'TransportPlugin::rebuild' is never used
- - [./transport/plugin_transport_tcp.c:391]: (style) struct or union member 'Plugin::address_update_task' is never used
* CORE:
- SET_KEY is triggered every 2.5 minutes (after session is up); should
just do PING (not SET_KEY + PING)
- "Forcing disconnect of XXX due to inactivity" -- can happen every few MS!?
(disconnect does not really succeed, or what?)
+ Also, core does not seem to actually decrement the number of active
+ sessions even if no connections exist for a while! (likely related...)
+ - transport reports bw quota violations on big-endian systems (core or
+ transport issue?)
* HELLO:
- need function to test "equivalency" of HELLOs; use in topology!
* FS:
- Remove KBlocks in gnunet-unindex (see discussion with Kenneth Almquist on gnunet-devs in 9/2009)
- Allow checking of presence of search results and/or content via command-line tools
(add options to gnunet-search / gnunet-download to limit search to local peer)
-* STATISTICS:
- - should use BIO instead of mmap
* PEERINFO:
- expire 'ancient' HELLOs (those without valid addresses AND that
we have not 'used' (for their public keys) in a while; need a way
to track actual 'use')
- make sue we also trigger notifications whenever HELLOs expire
+
+
+
+Optimizations:
+* TCP:
+ - should use hash map to look up sessions
+* PEERINFO:
+ - api creates many, many short-lived TCP connections; either some
+ clients should use the API differently or we need to change the
+ API to enable re-use of connections to the service
+* STATISTICS:
+ - should use BIO instead of mmap
+* TRANSPORT:
+ - need to periodically probe latency/transport cost changes & possibly switch transport
+ - instantly filter addresses from *other* peers that
+ are *equal* to our own address + port (i.e., localhost:2086). We
+ no longer filter those for outgoing (helps with loopback testing
+ and keeps the code clean), but we should filter strictly *impossible*
+ incoming addresses! This is for efficiency, not correctness.
+ - should use hash map to look up Neighbours
+
+Minor features:
+* TCP:
+ - repeatedly resolve hostname and look up interfaces to determine our own IP
+ - [./transport/plugin_transport_tcp.c:391]: (style) struct or union member 'Plugin::address_update_task' is never used (related to issue above)
+* TRANSPORT:
+ - [./transport/gnunet-service-transport.c:173]: (style) struct or union member 'TransportPlugin::rebuild' is never used (related to TCP not refreshing external addresses?)
