- [FEATURE] QUIC timestamps extension.
- [API] New: ea_alpn that is used when not in HTTP mode.
- [BUGFIX] SNI is mandatory only for HTTP/3 and gQUIC.
- [BUGFIX] Benign double-free -- issue #110.
- [BUGFIX] Printing of transport parameters.
- [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 27 support.
- [FEATURE] Add experimental delayed ACKs extension.
- Drop support for Internet Draft 24.
- Code cleanup.
- [FEATURE] QUIC and HTTP/3 Internet Draft 25 support.
- [API] Drop support for ID-23.
- [BUGFIX] Set key phase bit on outgoing packets correctly.
- Code cleanup.
- [BUGFIX] Initial packet size check for IETF mini conn applies to
UDP payload, not QUIC packet.
- Support old and new school loss_bits transport parameter.
- Use Q run length of 64 as suggested in the loss bits Draft.
- Undo square wave count when packet is delayed.
- Code cleanup; minor fixes.
- [HTTP3] Verify number of bytes in incoming DATA frames against
content-length.
- [HTTP3] Stop issuing streams credits if peer stops opening QPACK
decoder window. This addresses a potential attack whereby client
can cause the server to keep allocating memory. See Security
Considerations in the QPACK draft.
- [BUGFIX] Mini conn: don't shorten max packet size for Q050 and later.
- [BUGFIX] Init IETF connection flow controller using correct setting.
- Code cleanup and minor fixes.
- [API] lsquic_engine_connect() can now be passed QUIC version to use.
- [OPTIMIZATION] Queue opportunistic ACKs if there is data to be sent.
- [BUGFIX] Don't evict streams from priority iterator if there is
only one queue.
- [OPTIMIZATION, BUGFIX] Several other optimizations and bug fixes.
- Use ls-qpack v0.10.7.
- [API Change] Sendfile-like functionality is gone. The stream no
longer opens files and deals with file descriptors. (Among other
things, this makes the code more portable.) Three writing functions
are provided:
lsquic_stream_write
lsquic_stream_writev
lsquic_stream_writef (NEW)
lsquic_stream_writef() is given an abstract reader that has function
pointers for size() and read() functions which the user can implement.
This is the most flexible way. lsquic_stream_write() and
lsquic_stream_writev() are now both implemented as wrappers around
lsquic_stream_writef().
- [OPTIMIZATION] When writing to stream, be it within or without the
on_write() callback, place data directly into packet buffer,
bypassing auxiliary data structures. This reduces amount of memory
required, for the amount of data that can be written is limited
by the congestion window.
To support writes outside the on_write() callback, we keep N
outgoing packet buffers per connection which can be written to
by any stream. One half of these are reserved for the highest
priority stream(s), the other half for all other streams. This way,
low-priority streams cannot write instead of high-priority streams
and, on the other hand, low-priority streams get a chance to send
their packets out.
The algorithm is as follows:
- When user writes to stream outside of the callback:
- If this is the highest priority stream, place it onto the
reserved N/2 queue or fail.
(The actual size of this queue is dynamic -- MAX(N/2, CWND) --
rather than N/2, allowing high-priority streams to write as
much as can be sent.)
- If the stream is not the highest priority, try to place the
data onto the reserved N/2 queue or fail.
- When tick occurs *and* more packets can be scheduled:
- Transfer packets from the high N/2 queue to the scheduled
queue.
- If more scheduling is allowed:
- Call on_write callbacks for highest-priority streams,
placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue.
- If more scheduling is allowed:
- Transfer packets from the low N/2 queue to the scheduled
queue.
- If more scheduling is allowed:
- Call on_write callbacks for non-highest-priority streams,
placing resulting packets directly onto the scheduled queue
The number N is currently 20, but it could be varied based on
resource usage.
- If stream is created due to incoming headers, make headers readable
from on_new.
- Outgoing packets are no longer marked non-writeable to prevent placing
more than one STREAM frame from the same stream into a single packet.
This property is maintained via code flow and an explicit check.
Packets for stream data are allocated using a special function.
- STREAM frame elision is cheaper, as we only perform it if a reset
stream has outgoing packets referencing it.
- lsquic_packet_out_t is smaller, as stream_rec elements are now
inside a union.
