This is mainly important for Windows, where the select() call in the
main thread is not being woken up when the tapreader thread calls
route(), causing a delay of up to 1 second before the output buffer is
flushed. This would cause bad performance when UDP communication is not
possible.
First of all, if there really are two nodes with the same name, much
more than 10 contradicting ADD_EDGE and DEL_EDGE messages will be sent.
Also, we forgot to reset the counters when nothing happened.
In case there is a ADD_EDGE/DEL_EDGE storm, we do not shut down, but
sleep an increasing amount of time, allowing tinc to recover gracefully
from temporary failures.
The length parameter for the encoding functions is the length of the
binary input, and for the decoding functions it is the maximum size of
the binary output.
The return value is always the length of the resulting output, excluding
the terminating NULL character for the encoding routines.
All functions can encode and decode in-place. The encoding functions
will always write a terminating NULL character, and the decoding
functions will stop at a NULL character.
If we don't have ECDSA keys for the node we connect to, set protocol_minor
to 1, to indicate this to the other end. This will first complete the
old way of authentication with RSA keys, and will then exchange ECDSA keys.
The connection will be terminated right afterwards, and the next attempt
will use ECDSA keys.
The generate-keys command now generates both an RSA and an ECDSA keypair,
but one can generate-rsa-keys or generate-ecdsa-keys to just generate one type.
It is modelled after the pseudorandom function from RFC4346 (TLS 1.1), the only
significant change is the use of SHA512 and Whirlpool instead of MD5 and SHA1.
REQ_KEY requests have an extra field indicating key exchange version.
If it is present and > 0, the sender supports ECDH. If the receiver also
does, then it will generate a new keypair and sends the public key in a
ANS_KEY request with "ECDH:" prefixed. The ans_key_h() function will
compute the shared secret, which, at the moment,is used as is to set the
cipher and HMAC keys. However, this must be changed to use a proper KDF.
In the future, the ECDH key exchange must also be signed.
The pid is now written first, so that a version 1.0.x tincd can be used to stop
a running version 1.1 tincd. Getsockname() is used to determine the address of
the first listening socket, so that tincctl can connect to the local tincd even
if AddressFamily = ipv6, or if BindToAddress or BindToInterface is used.
