If the NIC router has insufficient CAP or RAM quota for the creation of
a state object for an interface, it tries to destroy a certain amount of
existing state objects of this interface to free resources. Afterwards,
it retries handling the current packet once. If it does fail again, the
router drops the packet.
Issue #2953
Do not simply wait for the good ping test to finish, but for the other
flood tests to trigger the RAM exhaustion. This makes the test more
robust with slower platforms or a different timing.
Issue #2857
Introduce the uplink tag:
! <config>
! <uplink label="wifi" domain="uplink">
! <uplink label="wired" domain="wired_bridge">
! <uplink domain="wired_bridge">
! <config/>
For each uplink tag, the NIC router requests a NIC session with the
corresponding label or an empty label if there is no label attribute.
These NIC sessions get attached to the domain that is set in their
uplink tag as soon as the domain appears. This means their lifetime is
not bound to the domain. Uplink NIC sessions can be safely moved from
one domain to another without being closed by reconfiguring the
corresponding domain attribute.
Attention: This may render previously valid NIC router configurations
useless. A domain named "uplink" doesn't automatically request a NIC
session anymore. To fix these configurations, just add
! <uplink domain="uplink"/>
or
! <uplink label="[LABEL]" domain="uplink"/>
as direct subtag of the <config> tag.
Issue #2840
Currently has three clients that continuously create new UDP/TCP/ICMP
connections through the NIC router with NAT to the outer world and they
get never closed. A fourth client does normal ping through the same
domain to the outer world that must succeed even after the RAM quota of
the other session at the router is exhausted. The test is restricted to
Qemu to not being at risk to flood real networks.
