We are currently triggering a fast handshake for static hosts right
inside HandshakeManager.AddVpnIP, but this can actually trigger before
we have generated the handshake packet to use. Instead, we should be
triggering right after we call ixHandshakeStage0 in getOrHandshake
(which generates the handshake packet)
Currently, we wait until the next timer tick to act on the lighthouse's
reply to our HostQuery. This means we can easily add hundreds of
milliseconds of unnecessary delay to the handshake. To fix this, we
can introduce a channel to trigger an outbound handshake without waiting
for the next timer tick.
A few samples of cold ping time between two hosts that require a
lighthouse lookup:
before (v1.2.0):
time=156 ms
time=252 ms
time=12.6 ms
time=301 ms
time=352 ms
time=49.4 ms
time=150 ms
time=13.5 ms
time=8.24 ms
time=161 ms
time=355 ms
after:
time=3.53 ms
time=3.14 ms
time=3.08 ms
time=3.92 ms
time=7.78 ms
time=3.59 ms
time=3.07 ms
time=3.22 ms
time=3.12 ms
time=3.08 ms
time=8.04 ms
I recommend reviewing this PR by looking at each commit individually, as
some refactoring was required that makes the diff a bit confusing when
combined together.
This change add more metrics around "meta" (non "message" type packets).
For lighthouse packets, we also record statistics around the specific
lighthouse meta type.
We don't keep statistics for the "message" type so that we don't slow
down the fast path (and you can just look at metrics on the tun
interface to find that information).
This change adds a new helper, `(*HostInfo).logger()`, that starts a new
logrus.Entry with `vpnIp` and `certName`. We don't use the helper inside
of handshake_ix though since the certificate has not been attached to
the HostInfo yet.
Fixes: #84
This change exposes the current constants we have defined for the handshake
manager as configuration options. This will allow us to test and tweak
with different intervals and wait rotations.
# Handshake Manger Settings
handshakes:
# Total time to try a handshake = sequence of `try_interval * retries`
# With 100ms interval and 20 retries it is 23.5 seconds
try_interval: 100ms
retries: 20
# wait_rotation is the number of handshake attempts to do before starting to try non-local IP addresses
wait_rotation: 5
