mptcpd 0.6
-
Mptcpd now supports versions of the Embedded Linux Library (ELL) greater than 0.33.
-
Plugins should use the new
MPTCPD_PLUGIN_DEFINE()
preprocessor macro instead ofL_PLUGIN_DEFINE()
. -
A pointer to the mptcpd path manager object, i.e.
struct mptcpd *pm
, is now passed to the plugininit
andexit
functions. This allows plugins to potentially perform mptcpd path manager related operations during initialization and finalization. -
Support for the MPTCP netlink path manager in the upstream Linux kernel is now available. A new set of path management command functions corresponding to those available in the kernel netlink path management API has been added to the
<mptcpd/path_manager.h>
header. The new functions allow plugins to retrieve IP address information, flush addresses, and modify MPTCP resource limits. -
The
mptcpd_pm_add_addr()
(formerlymptcpd_pm_send_addr()
) andmptcpd_pm_remove_addr()
function parameters have been modified in order to support both the upstream and multipath-tcp.org kernels. -
Mptcpd path management command functions declared in
<mptcpd/path_manager.h>
now return zero on success and -1 or an
errno
on failure instead of abool
. -
A MPTCP address ID manager
mptcpd_idm
interface was introduced that mptcpd plugins may leverage to map an IP address to a MPTCP address ID, as well as to track used and unused IDs. The interface is defined in the new<mptcpd/id_manager.h>
header. -
A new address advertising plugin,
addr_adv
, has been added. It simply triggers a MPTCPADD_ADDR
when a new IP address is detected by the mptcpd network monitor. Similarly, a MPTCPREMOVE_ADDR
is triggered when an IP address is no longer available. -
MPTCP netlink command error message logging was improved to be more descriptive when possible.
