README

A Standalone MPQUIC implementation in pure Go

Inspired and based on: https://multipath-quic.org/2017/12/09/artifacts-available.html

mpquic_for_video_stream_backend is a multipath implementation of the quic-go protocol

Roadmap

• Implement different Machine Learning based Schedulers
• DONE: Make this completely standalone, so that anyone can import this library without manual

This version of mpquic_for_video_stream_backend is not dependent on quic-go, and can be installed as a standalone package

Pre-Requisites

• Install hdf5 library in your PC before executing this

  In mac: brew install hdf5

  In Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev

• Run export GOPRIVATE=github.com/mutdroco in command-line before importing private-packages

• Then go get -t -u ./...

Guides

We currently support Go 1.14+

Essential Environment Variables: OUTPUT_DIR="ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_OUTPUT_DIR is needed for scheduler implementation in native application

Choosing Schedulers:

// Available Schedulers: round_robin, low_latency
// Default Scheduler: round_robin
// To choose a custom scheduler you can follow the below approach:
cfgServer := &quic.Config{
	CreatePaths: true,
	Scheduler: 'round_robin', // Or any of the above mentioned scheduler
	WeightsFile: '/file/path'
	Training: true,
	Epsilon: 0.0001
	AllowedCongestion: 50
	DumpExperiences: true
}  // If nothing is mentioned round_robin will be default

Installing and updating dependencies:

go get -t -u ./...

Running tests:

go test ./...

Example Implementation

An application that does File Transfer using mpquic_for_video_stream_backend has been shown at MPQUIC-FTP

Config contains all configuration data needed for a QUIC server or client.

type Cookie

type Cookie = handshake.Cookie

A Cookie can be used to verify the ownership of the client address.

type Listener

type Listener interface {
	// Close the server, sending CONNECTION_CLOSE frames to each peer.
	Close() error
	// Addr returns the local network addr that the server is listening on.
	Addr() net.Addr
	// Accept returns new sessions. It should be called in a loop.
	Accept() (Session, error)
}

A Listener for incoming QUIC connections

func Listen

func Listen(pconn net.PacketConn, tlsConf *tls.Config, config *Config) (Listener, error)

Listen listens for QUIC connections on a given net.PacketConn. The listener is not active until Serve() is called. The tls.Config must not be nil, the quic.Config may be nil.

func ListenAddr

func ListenAddr(addr string, tlsConf *tls.Config, config *Config) (Listener, error)

ListenAddr creates a QUIC server listening on a given address. The listener is not active until Serve() is called. The tls.Config must not be nil, the quic.Config may be nil.

func ListenAddrImpl

type NonFWSession

type NonFWSession interface {
	Session
	WaitUntilHandshakeComplete() error
}

A NonFWSession is a QUIC connection between two peers half-way through the handshake. The communication is encrypted, but not yet forward secure.

func DialAddrNonFWSecure

func DialAddrNonFWSecure(
	addr string,
	tlsConf *tls.Config,
	config *Config,
) (NonFWSession, error)

DialAddrNonFWSecure establishes a new QUIC connection to a server. The hostname for SNI is taken from the given address.

func DialNonFWSecure

func DialNonFWSecure(
	pconn net.PacketConn,
	remoteAddr net.Addr,
	host string,
	tlsConf *tls.Config,
	config *Config,
	pconnMgrArg *pconnManager,
) (NonFWSession, error)

DialNonFWSecure establishes a new non-forward-secure QUIC connection to a server using a net.PacketConn. The host parameter is used for SNI.

type Session

type Session interface {
	// AcceptStream returns the next stream opened by the peer, blocking until one is available.
	// Since stream 1 is reserved for the crypto stream, the first stream is either 2 (for a client) or 3 (for a server).
	AcceptStream() (Stream, error)
	// OpenStream opens a new QUIC stream, returning a special error when the peer's concurrent stream limit is reached.
	// New streams always have the smallest possible stream ID.
	// TODO: Enable testing for the special error
	OpenStream() (Stream, error)
	// OpenStreamSync opens a new QUIC stream, blocking until the peer's concurrent stream limit allows a new stream to be opened.
	// It always picks the smallest possible stream ID.
	OpenStreamSync() (Stream, error)
	// LocalAddr returns the local address.
	LocalAddr() net.Addr
	// RemoteAddr returns the address of the peer.
	RemoteAddr() net.Addr
	// Close closes the connection. The error will be sent to the remote peer in a CONNECTION_CLOSE frame. An error value of nil is allowed and will cause a normal PeerGoingAway to be sent.
	Close(error) error
	// The context is cancelled when the session is closed.
	// Warning: This API should not be considered stable and might change soon.
	Context() context.Context
}

A Session is a QUIC connection between two peers.

func Dial

func Dial(
	pconn net.PacketConn,
	remoteAddr net.Addr,
	host string,
	tlsConf *tls.Config,
	config *Config,
	pconnMgrArg *pconnManager,
) (Session, error)

Dial establishes a new QUIC connection to a server using a net.PacketConn. The host parameter is used for SNI.

func DialAddr

func DialAddr(addr string, tlsConf *tls.Config, config *Config) (Session, error)

DialAddr establishes a new QUIC connection to a server. The hostname for SNI is taken from the given address.

type Stream

type Stream interface {
	// Read reads data from the stream.
	// Read can be made to time out and return a net.Error with Timeout() == true
	// after a fixed time limit; see SetDeadline and SetReadDeadline.
	io.Reader
	// Write writes data to the stream.
	// Write can be made to time out and return a net.Error with Timeout() == true
	// after a fixed time limit; see SetDeadline and SetWriteDeadline.
	io.Writer
	io.Closer
	StreamID() StreamID
	// Reset closes the stream with an error.
	Reset(error)
	// The context is canceled as soon as the write-side of the stream is closed.
	// This happens when Close() is called, or when the stream is reset (either locally or remotely).
	// Warning: This API should not be considered stable and might change soon.
	Context() context.Context
	// SetReadDeadline sets the deadline for future Read calls and
	// any currently-blocked Read call.
	// A zero value for t means Read will not time out.
	SetReadDeadline(t time.Time) error
	// SetWriteDeadline sets the deadline for future Write calls
	// and any currently-blocked Write call.
	// Even if write times out, it may return n > 0, indicating that
	// some of the data was successfully written.
	// A zero value for t means Write will not time out.
	SetWriteDeadline(t time.Time) error
	// SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines associated
	// with the connection. It is equivalent to calling both
	// SetReadDeadline and SetWriteDeadline.
	SetDeadline(t time.Time) error
	// GetBytesSent returns the number of bytes of the stream that were sent to the peer
	GetBytesSent() (protocol.ByteCount, error)
	// GetBytesRetrans returns the number of bytes of the stream that were retransmitted to the peer
	GetBytesRetrans() (protocol.ByteCount, error)

Stream is the interface implemented by QUIC streams

type StreamID

type StreamID = protocol.StreamID

The StreamID is the ID of a QUIC stream.

type VersionNumber

type VersionNumber = protocol.VersionNumber

A VersionNumber is a QUIC version number.
