We used to not accept new indirect lanes if we already have a direct
lane. This means that if Bob, with a publicly-accessible lane, changes
lanes (eg by restarting the process and getting a new port or changing
ip addresses), tries to talk to Alice, who is behind a NAT, then Bob
will try directly but fail (because Alice is behind a NAT), so he will
route the message through her galaxy. This is good -- the message gets
to Alice. However, Alice had a direct route to Bob's old lane, so she
will try to ack on that lane, which fails. She will not time out this
lane because she doesn't know that Bob isn't getting the acks (acks
don't have their own acks).
The solution is that if Alice receives an indirect lane for Bob when she
already has a direct lane, she shouldn't ignore it. If the lane is the
same as what she has, she shouldn't change anything (in particular, she
shouldn't mark it as indirect). But if it's a new lane, she should
discard her old direct lane and use the new indirect lane.
We inspect the wire of our subscriber to see if we need to produce the
result as a %public-keys or a %boon. This is bad -- we should proxy the
subscription to avoid this need, but this doesn't make that change yet.
%pubs is an old name that doesn't exist anymore (last existed around
September 2019). The new version is /public-keys, but it's worked so
far because /public-keys has only one item in the path, so it missed the
conditional. This commit makes the intent more clear.
The [%a @ @ *] could be just [%a @ *], but I leave it to reduce the
chance of breaking stuff.
Somehow we ended up with flows which expected to awaken but did not wake
up. This was likely caused by the error in r920j OTA, urbit-os-v1.0.18.
This adds a command which ensures that every flow has an active timer.
I expect this to be needed only once, but it's a pretty general tool, so
it's worth keeping.
I've included an unused @t parameter to more easily add simple debug
commands to ames without having to add a new task
At some point this should be more properly styled similar to +by, +in,
and +to, but for now this reduces duplication and makes the ordered map
available to everyone.
Support /=peers= and /=peer=/~ship scries for getting at all peers and
a specific peer's connection state, respectively.
Moves some internal types into zuse for easier external use.
Trying to reduce the size of ames queues. This deduplicates incoming
message-blobs by comparing with existing message-blobs in other queues.
It also stops splitting into fragments in +feed-packets. Instead, it
splits into fragments at the last moment, in +encrypt. This means we
don't have to store a large number of packets in our home road.
Gives you a poor man's progress bar. For example, to determine how much
of an OTA you've downloaded from your sponsor, run:
|ames-sift (sein:title our now our)
|ames-verb %rcv
and then to turn it off:
|ames-verb
