* In the SDK, we don't actually need to block when we're sending a message
as BestEffort (and these days, we're always sending BestEffort).
* Pass out client messages in fewer (larger) steps.
* Have the InNetMessagePool short circuit dispatch requests.
* Have the message validator take into account expiration to cut down on
false positives at high transfer rates.
* Allow configuration of the probabalistic window size growth rate in the
streaming lib's slow start and congestion avoidance phases, and default
them to a more conservative value (2), rather than the previous value
(1).
* Reduce the ack delay in the streaming lib to 500ms
* Honor choke requests in the streaming lib (only affects those getting
insanely high transfer rates)
* Let the user specify an interface besides 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 on the
I2PTunnel client page (thanks maestro^!)
(plus minor udp tweaks)
* Added the possibility for i2ptunnel client and httpclient instances to
have their own i2p session (and hence, destination and tunnels). By
default, tunnels are shared, but that can be changed on the web
interface or with the sharedClient config option in i2ptunnel.config.
2005-04-17 jrandom
* Marked the net.i2p.i2ptunnel.TunnelManager as deprecated. Anyone use
this? If not, I want to drop it (lots of tiny details with lots of
duplicated semantics).
* Added new user-editable eepproxy error page templates.
2005-04-17 jrandom
* Revamp the tunnel building throttles, fixing a situation where the
rebuild may not recover, and defaulting it to unthrottled (users with
slow CPUs may want to set "router.tunnel.shouldThrottle=true" in their
advanced router config)
* Make sure we don't get cached updates (thanks smeghead!)
* Clear out the callback for the TestJob after it passes (only affects the
job timing accounting)
* Security improvements to TrustedUpdate: signing and verification of the
version string along with the data payload for signed update files
(consequently the positions of the DSA signature and version string fields
have been swapped in the spec for the update file's header); router will
no longer perform a trusted update if the signed update's version is lower
than or equal to the currently running router's version.
* Added two new CLI commands to TrustedUpdate: showversion, verifyupdate.
* Extended TrustedUpdate public API for use by third party applications.
* Retry I2PTunnel startup if we are unable to build a socketManager for a
client or httpclient tunnel.
* Add some basic sanity checking on the I2CP settings (thanks duck!)
* After a successfull netDb search for a leaseSet, republish it to all of
the peers we have tried so far who did not give us the key (up to 10),
rather than the old K closest (which may include peers who had given us
the key)
* Don't wait 5 minutes to publish a leaseSet (duh!), and rather than
republish it every 5 minutes, republish it every 3. In addition, always
republish as soon as the leaseSet changes (duh^2).
* Minor fix for oddball startup race (thanks travis_bickle!)
* Minor AES update to allow in-place decryption.
2005-03-29 jrandom
* Decreased the initial RTT estimate to 10s to allow more retries.
* Increased the default netDb store replication factor from 2 to 6 to take
into consideration tunnel failures.
* Address some statistical anonymity attacks against the netDb that could
be mounted by an active internal adversary by only answering lookups for
leaseSets we received through an unsolicited store.
* Don't throttle lookup responses (we throttle enough elsewhere)
* Fix the NewsFetcher so that it doesn't incorrectly resume midway through
the file (thanks nickster!)
* Updated the I2PTunnel HTML (thanks postman!)
* Added support to the I2PTunnel pages for the URL parameter "passphrase",
which, if matched against the router.config "i2ptunnel.passphrase" value,
skips the nonce check. If the config prop doesn't exist or is blank, no
passphrase is accepted.
* Implemented HMAC-SHA256.
* Enable the tunnel batching with a 500ms delay by default
* Dropped compatability with 0.5.0.3 and earlier releases
* Implemented the news fetch / update policy code, as configurated on
/configupdate.jsp. Defaults are to grab the news every 24h (or if it
doesn't exist yet, on startup). No action is taken however, though if
the news.xml specifies that a new release is available, an option to
update will be shown on the router console.
* New initialNews.xml delivered with new installs, and moved news.xml out
of the i2pwww module and into the i2p module so that we can bundle it
within each update.
* New /configupdate.jsp page for controlling the update / notification
process, as well as various minor related updates. Note that not all
options are exposed yet, and the update detection code isn't in place
in this commit - it currently says there is always an update available.
* New EepGet component for reliable downloading, with a CLI exposed in
java -cp lib/i2p.jar net.i2p.util.EepGet url
* Added a default signing key to the TrustedUpdate component to be used
for verifying updates. This signing key can be authenticated via
gpg --verify i2p/core/java/src/net/i2p/crypto/TrustedUpdate.java
* New public domain SHA1 implementation for the DSA code so that we can
handle signing streams of arbitrary size without excess memory usage
(thanks P.Verdy!)
* Added some helpers to the TrustedUpdate to work off streams and to offer
a minimal CLI:
TrustedUpdate keygen pubKeyFile privKeyFile
TrustedUpdate sign origFile signedFile privKeyFile
TrustedUpdate verify signedFile
* Fixed the tunnel fragmentation handler to deal with multiple fragments
in a single message properly (rather than release the buffer into the
cache after processing the first one) (duh!)
* Added the batching preprocessor which will bundle together multiple
small messages inside a single tunnel message by delaying their delivery
up to .5s, or whenever the pending data will fill a full message,
whichever comes first. This is disabled at the moment, since without the
above bugfix widely deployed, lots and lots of messages would fail.
* Within each tunnel pool, stick with a randomly selected peer for up to
.5s before randomizing and selecting again, instead of randomizing the
pool each time a tunnel is needed.
2005-03-18 jrandom
* Minor tweak to the timestamper to help reduce small skews
* Adjust the stats published to include only the relevent ones
* Only show the currently used speed calculation on the profile page
* Allow the full max # resends to be sent, rather than piggybacking the
RESET packet along side the final resend (duh)
* Add irc.postman.i2p to the default list of IRC servers for new installs
* Drop support for routers running 0.5 or 0.5.0.1 while maintaining
backwards compatability for users running 0.5.0.2.
* Update the old speed calculator and associated profile data points to
use a non-tiered moving average of the tunnel test time, avoiding the
freshness issues of the old tiered speed stats.
* Explicitly synchronize all of the methods on the PRNG, rather than just
the feeder methods (sun and kaffe only need the feeder, but it seems ibm
needs all of them synchronized).
* Properly use the tunnel tests as part of the profile stats.
* Don't flood the jobqueue with sequential persist profile tasks, but
instead, inject a brief scheduling delay between them.
* Reduce the TCP connection establishment timeout to 20s (which is still
absurdly excessive)
* Reduced the max resend delay to 30s so we can get some resends in when
dealing with client apps that hang up early (e.g. wget)
* Added more alternative socketManager factories (good call aum!)
* Adjust the old speed calculator to include end to end RTT data in its
estimates, and use that as the primary speed calculator again.
* Use the mean of the high capacity speeds to determine the fast
threshold, rather than the median. Perhaps we should use the mean of
all active non-failing peers?
* Updated the profile page to sort by tier, then alphabetically.
* Added some alternative socketManager factories (good call aum!)
* New strict speed calculator that goes off the actual number of messages
verifiably sent through the peer by way of tunnels. Initially, this only
contains the successful message count on inbound tunnels, but may be
augmented later to include verified outbound messages, peers queried in
the netDb, etc. The speed calculation decays quickly, but should give
a better differential than the previous stat (both values are shown on
the /profiles.jsp page)
2005-03-11 jrandom
* Rather than the fixed resend timeout floor (10s), use 10s+RTT as the
minimum (increased on resends as before, of course).
* Always prod the clock update listeners, even if just to tell them that
the time hasn't changed much.
* Added support for explicit peer selection for individual tunnel pools,
which will be useful in debugging but not recommended for use by normal
end users.
* More aggressively search for the next hop's routerInfo on tunnel join.
* Give messages received via inbound tunnels that are bound to remote
locations sufficient time (taking into account clock skew).
* Give alternate direct send messages sufficient time (10s min, not 5s)
* Always give the end to end data message the explicit timeout (though the
old default was sufficient before)
* No need to give end to end messages an insane expiration (+2m), as we
are already handling skew on the receiving side.
* Don't complain too loudly about expired TunnelCreateMessages (at least,
not until after all those 0.5 and 0.5.0.1 users upgrade ;)
* Properly keep the sendBps stat
* When running the router with router.keepHistory=true, log more data to
messageHistory.txt
* Logging updates
* Minor formatting updates
2005-03-06 jrandom
* Allow the I2PTunnel web interface to select streaming lib options for
individual client tunnels, rather than sharing them across all of them,
as we do with the session options. This way people can (and should) set
the irc proxy to interactive and the eepproxy to bulk.
* Added a startRouter.sh script to new installs which simply calls
"sh i2prouter start". This should make it clear how people should start
I2P.
* Filter HTTP response headers in the eepproxy, forcing Connection: close
so that broken (/malicious) webservers can't allow persistent
connections. All HTTP compliant browsers should now always close the
socket.
* Enabled the GZIPInputStream's cache (they were'nt cached before)
* Make sure our first send is always a SYN (duh)
* Workaround for some buggy compilers
* Loop while starting up the I2PTunnel instances, in case the I2CP
listener isn't up yet (thanks detonate!)
* Implement custom reusable GZIP streams to both reduce memory churn
and prevent the exposure of data in the standard GZIP header (creation
time, OS, etc). This is RFC1952 compliant, and backwards compatible,
though has only been tested within the confines of I2P's compression use
(DataHelper.[de]compress).
* Preemptively support the next protocol version, so that after the 0.5.0.2
release, we'll be able to drop protocol=2 to get rid of 0.5 users.
* Fix one substantial OOM cause (session tag manager was only dropping
tags once the critical limit was met, rather than honoring their
expiration) (duh)
* Lots of small memory fixes
* Double the allowable concurrent outstanding tunnel build tasks (20)
* Really disable the streaming lib packet caching
* Synchronized a message handling point in the SDK (even though its use is
already essentially single threaded, its better to play it safe)
* Don't add new RepublishLeaseSetJobs on failure, just requeue up the
existing one (duh)
* Throttle the number of concurrent pending tunnel builds across all
pools, in addition to simply throttling the number of new requests per
minute for each pool individually. This should avoid the cascading
failure when tunnel builds take too long, as no new builds will be
created until the previous ones are handled.
* Factored out and extended the DataHelper's unit tests for dealing with
long and date formatting.
* Explicitly specify the HTTP auth realm as "i2prouter", though this
alone doesn't address the bug where jetty asks for authentication too
much. (thanks orion!)
* Updated the StreamSinkServer to ignore all read bytes, rather than write
them to the filesystem.
* Don't rerequest leaseSets if there are already pending requests
* Reverted the insufficiently tested caching in the DSA/SHA1 impl, and
temporary disabled the streaming lib packet caching.
* Reduced the resend RTT penalty to 10s
* Further streaming lib caching improvements
* Reduce the minimum RTT (used to calculate retry timeouts), but also
increase the RTT on resends.
* Lower the default message size to 4KB from 16KB to further reduce the
chance of failed fragmentation.
* Extend tunnel rebuild throttling to include fallback rebuilds
* If there are less than 20 routers known, don't drop the last 20 (to help
avoid dropping all peers under catastrophic failures)
* New stats for end to end messages - "client.leaseSetFoundLocally",
"client.leaseSetFoundRemoteTime", and "client.leaseSetFailedRemoteTime"
* Throttle the number of tunnel rebuilds per minute, preventing CPU
overload under catastrophic failures (thanks Tracker and cervantes!)
* Block the router startup process until we've initialized the clock
* Cache temporary memory allocation in the DSA's SHA1 impl, and the packet
data in the streaming lib.
* Fixed a streaming lib bug where the connection initiator would fail the
stream if the ACK to their SYN was lost.
* Reworked the tunnel (re)building process to remove the tokens and
provide cleaner controls on the tunnels built.
* Fixed situations where the timestamper wanted to test more servers than
were provided (thanks Tracker!)
* Get rid of the dead SAM sessions by using the streaming lib's callbacks
(thanks Tracker!)
* Temporary workaround for the I2CP disconnect bug (have the streaminglib
try to automatically reconnect on accept()/connect(..)).
* Loop check for expired lease republishing (just in case)
* Adjusted (and fixed...) the timestamper change detection
* Deal with a rare reordering bug at the beginning of a stream (so we
don't drop it unnecessarily)
* Cleaned up some dropped message handling in the router
* Reduced job queue churn when dealing with a large number of tunnels by
sharing an expiration job
* Keep a separate list of the most recent CRIT messages (shown on the
logs.jsp). This way they don't get buried among any other messages.
* For clarity, display the tunnel variance config as "Randomization" on
the web console.
* If lease republishing fails (boo! hiss!) try it again
* Actually fix the negative jobLag in the right place (this time)
* Allow reseeding when there are less than 10 known peer references
* Lots of logging updates.
* Allow the streaming lib resend frequency to drop down to 20s as the
minimum, so that up to 2 retries can get sent on an http request.
* Add further limits to failsafe tunnels.
* Keep exploratory and client tunnel testing and building stats separate.
* Only use the 60s period for throttling tunnel requests due to transient
network overload.
* Rebuild tunnels earlier (1-3m before expiration, by default)
* Cache the next hop's routerInfo for participating tunnels so that the
tunnel participation doesn't depend on the netDb.
* Fixed a long standing bug in the streaming lib where we wouldn't always
unchoke messages when the window size grows.
* Make sure the window size never reaches 0 (duh)
* Only build failsafe tunnels if we need them
* Properly implement the selectNotFailingPeers so that we get a random
selection of peers, rather than using the strictOrdering (thanks dm!)
* Don't include too many "don't tell me about" peer references in the
lookup message - only send the 10 peer references closest to the target.
* Only build new extra tunnels on failure if we don't have enough
* Fix a fencepost in the tunnel building so that e.g. a variance of
2 means +/- 2, not +/- 1 (thanks dm!)
* Avoid an NPE on client disconnect
* Never select a shitlisted peer to participate in a tunnel
* Have netDb store messages timeout after 10s, not the full 60s (duh)
* Keep session tags around for a little longer, just in case (grr)
* Cleaned up some closing event issues on the streaming lib
* Stop bundling the jetty 5.1.2 and updated wrapper.config in the update
so that 0.4.* users will need to do a clean install, but we don't need
to shove an additional 2MB in each update to those already on 0.5.
* Imported the susimail css (oops, thanks susi!)
