ipcpd: Update DHT for unicast layer

2025-08-06T10:34:15+00:00

This is a rewrite of the DHT for name-to-address resolution in the unicast layer. It is now integrated as a proper directory policy. The dir_wait_running function is removed, instead the a DHT peer is passed on during IPCP enrolment. Each DHT request/response gets a random 64-bit ID ('cookie'). DHT messages to the same peer are deduped, except in the case when the DHT is low on contacts. In that case, it will contact the per it received at enrolment for more contacts. To combat packet loss, these messages are not deduped by means of a 'magic cookie', chosen at random when the DHT starts. The DHT parameters (Kademlia) can be set using the configfile or the IRM command line tools: if DIRECTORY_POLICY == DHT [dht_alpha (default: 3)] [dht_k (default: 8)] [dht_t_expire (default: 86400)] [dht_t_refresh (default: 900)] [dht_t_replicate (default: 900)] This commit also adds support for a protocol debug level (PP). Protocol debugging for the DHT can be enabled using the DEBUG_PROTO_DHT build flag. The DHT has the following message types: DHT_STORE, sent to k peers. Not acknowledged. DHT_STORE --> [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4]. key: bcc236ab6ec69e65 [32 bytes] val: 00000000c4e2d9ed [8 bytes] exp: 2025-08-03 17:29:44 (UTC). DHT_FIND_NODE_REQ, sent to 'alpha' peers, with a corresponding response. This is used to update the peer routing table to iteratively look for the nodes with IDs closest to the requested key. DHT_FIND_NODE_REQ --> [a62f92abffb451c4|ed:d9:e2:c4]. cookie: 2d4b7acef8308210 key: a62f92abffb451c4 [32 bytes] DHT_FIND_NODE_RSP <-- [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4]. cookie: 2d4b7acef8308210 key: a62f92abffb451c4 [32 bytes] contacts: [1] [a62f92abffb451c4|9f:0d:c1:fb] DHT_FIND_VALUE_REQ, sent to 'k' peers, with a corresponding response. Used to find a value for a key. Will also send its closest known peers in the response. DHT_FIND_VALUE_REQ --> [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4]. cookie: 80a1adcb09a2ff0a key: 42dee3b0415b4f69 [32 bytes] DHT_FIND_VALUE_RSP <-- [2861814146dbf9b5|ed:d9:e2:c4]. cookie: 80a1adcb09a2ff0a key: 42dee3b0415b4f69 [32 bytes] values: [1] 00000000c4e2d9ed [8 bytes] contacts: [1] [a62f92abffb451c4|9f:0d:c1:fb] Also removes ubuntu 20 from appveyor config as it is not supported anymore.

ipcpd: Allow creation of multiple directories

2021-12-29T08:12:20+00:00

To allow merging large network layers, a situation will arise where multiple directories need to coexist within the layer. This reverts commit 9422e6be94ac1007e8115a920379fd545055e531. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Consolidate policies within folder

2021-12-06T16:53:52+00:00

Each policy folder will now have a pol.h file, so that (in most cases) adding a new policy only requires changes inside the policy folder. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Make the DHT a directory policy

The DHT is now a proper directory policy instead of a unicast IPCP component. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

ipcpd: Move DHT to stack

2021-12-06T16:52:16+00:00

This makes the DHT a single directory implementation and moves it to the stack (init/fini instead of create/destroy). This is a step towards making it a directory policy, in line with our other policy implementations. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders
