Overview ¶
Package tcpip provides the interfaces and related types that users of the tcpip stack will use in order to create endpoints used to send and receive data over the network stack.
The starting point is the creation and configuration of a stack. A stack can be created by calling the New() function of the tcpip/stack/stack package; configuring a stack involves creating NICs (via calls to Stack.CreateNIC()), adding network addresses (via calls to Stack.AddAddress()), and setting a route table (via a call to Stack.SetRouteTable()).
Once a stack is configured, endpoints can be created by calling Stack.NewEndpoint(). Such endpoints can be used to send/receive data, connect to peers, listen for connections, accept connections, etc., depending on the transport protocol selected.

Functions ¶
This section is empty.
Types ¶
type Address ¶
type Address string
Address is a byte slice cast as a string that represents the address of a network node. Or, in the case of unix endpoints, it may represent a path.
type Clock ¶
type Clock interface { // NowNanoseconds returns the current real time as a number of // nanoseconds since some epoch. NowNanoseconds() int64 }
A Clock provides the current time.
Times returned by a Clock should always be used for application-visible time, but never for netstack internal timekeeping.
type ControlMessages ¶
type ControlMessages struct { // HasTimestamp indicates whether Timestamp is valid/set. HasTimestamp bool // Timestamp is the time (in ns) that the last packed used to create // the read data was received. Timestamp int64 }
A ControlMessages contains socket control messages for IP sockets.
type Endpoint ¶
type Endpoint interface { // Close puts the endpoint in a closed state and frees all resources // associated with it. Close() // Read reads data from the endpoint and optionally returns the sender. // // This method does not block if there is no data pending. It will also // either return an error or data, never both. // // A timestamp (in ns) is optionally returned. A zero value indicates // that no timestamp was available. Read(*FullAddress) (buffer.View, ControlMessages, *Error) // Write writes data to the endpoint's peer. This method does not block if // the data cannot be written. // // Unlike io.Writer.Write, Endpoint.Write transfers ownership of any bytes // successfully written to the Endpoint. That is, if a call to // Write(SlicePayload{data}) returns (n, err), it may retain data[:n], and // the caller should not use data[:n] after Write returns. // // Note that unlike io.Writer.Write, it is not an error for Write to // perform a partial write. Write(Payload, WriteOptions) (uintptr, *Error) // Peek reads data without consuming it from the endpoint. // // This method does not block if there is no data pending. // // A timestamp (in ns) is optionally returned. A zero value indicates // that no timestamp was available. Peek([][]byte) (uintptr, ControlMessages, *Error) // Connect connects the endpoint to its peer. Specifying a NIC is // optional. // // There are three classes of return values: // nil -- the attempt to connect succeeded. // ErrConnectStarted/ErrAlreadyConnecting -- the connect attempt started // but hasn't completed yet. In this case, the caller must call Connect // or GetSockOpt(ErrorOption) when the endpoint becomes writable to // get the actual result. The first call to Connect after the socket has // connected returns nil. Calling connect again results in ErrAlreadyConnected. // Anything else -- the attempt to connect failed. Connect(address FullAddress) *Error // Shutdown closes the read and/or write end of the endpoint connection // to its peer. Shutdown(flags ShutdownFlags) *Error // Listen puts the endpoint in "listen" mode, which allows it to accept // new connections. Listen(backlog int) *Error // Accept returns a new endpoint if a peer has established a connection // to an endpoint previously set to listen mode. This method does not // block if no new connections are available. // // The returned Queue is the wait queue for the newly created endpoint. Accept() (Endpoint, *waiter.Queue, *Error) // Bind binds the endpoint to a specific local address and port. // Specifying a NIC is optional. // // An optional commit function will be executed atomically with respect // to binding the endpoint. If this returns an error, the bind will not // occur and the error will be propagated back to the caller. Bind(address FullAddress, commit func() *Error) *Error // GetLocalAddress returns the address to which the endpoint is bound. GetLocalAddress() (FullAddress, *Error) // GetRemoteAddress returns the address to which the endpoint is // connected. GetRemoteAddress() (FullAddress, *Error) // Readiness returns the current readiness of the endpoint. For example, // if waiter.EventIn is set, the endpoint is immediately readable. Readiness(mask waiter.EventMask) waiter.EventMask // SetSockOpt sets a socket option. opt should be one of the *Option types. SetSockOpt(opt interface{}) *Error // GetSockOpt gets a socket option. opt should be a pointer to one of the // *Option types. GetSockOpt(opt interface{}) *Error }
Endpoint is the interface implemented by transport protocols (e.g., tcp, udp) that exposes functionality like read, write, connect, etc. to users of the networking stack.
type Error ¶
type Error struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Error represents an error in the netstack error space. Using a special type ensures that errors outside of this space are not accidentally introduced.
type ErrorOption ¶
type ErrorOption struct{}
ErrorOption is used in GetSockOpt to specify that the last error reported by the endpoint should be cleared and returned.
type FullAddress ¶
type FullAddress struct { // NIC is the ID of the NIC this address refers to. // // This may not be used by all endpoint types. NIC NICID // Addr is the network address. Addr Address // Port is the transport port. // // This may not be used by all endpoint types. Port uint16 }
FullAddress represents a full transport node address, as required by the Connect() and Bind() methods.
type LinkAddress ¶
type LinkAddress string
LinkAddress is a byte slice cast as a string that represents a link address. It is typically a 6-byte MAC address.
func ParseMACAddress ¶
func ParseMACAddress(s string) (LinkAddress, error)
ParseMACAddress parses an IEEE 802 address.
It must be in the format aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff or aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff.

type Payload ¶
type Payload interface { // Get returns a slice containing exactly 'min(size, p.Size())' bytes. Get(size int) ([]byte, *Error) // Size returns the payload size. Size() int }
Payload provides an interface around data that is being sent to an endpoint. This allows the endpoint to request the amount of data it needs based on internal buffers without exposing them. 'p.Get(p.Size())' reads all the data.
type ProtocolAddress ¶
type ProtocolAddress struct { // Protocol is the protocol of the address. Protocol NetworkProtocolNumber // Address is a network address. Address Address }
ProtocolAddress is an address and the network protocol it is associated with.

type SlicePayload []byte
SlicePayload implements Payload on top of slices for convenience.
type Stats ¶
type Stats struct { // UnknownProtocolRcvdPackets is the number of packets received by the // stack that were for an unknown or unsupported protocol. UnknownProtocolRcvdPackets uint64 // UnknownNetworkEndpointRcvdPackets is the number of packets received // by the stack that were for a supported network protocol, but whose // destination address didn't having a matching endpoint.

Bits returns the number of ones (network bits) and zeros (host bits) in the subnet mask.
type TCPInfoOption ¶
type TCPInfoOption struct{}
TCPInfoOption is used by GetSockOpt to expose TCP statistics.
TODO: Add and populate stat fields.
