| Summary | 0001986: mesh API is not robust enough against service / connection failures | ||||
| Description | LRN reported issues with mesh whenever the first connection between the mesh API and the service failed (due to 0001975). Naturally, for proper robustness, the mesh API should fully tolerate mesh service crashes / connection failures and simply "keep going" (reconnect, reinitialize state, etc.). I don't have details on the issue (IRC logs of 11'2011 might give some), but certainly it would be nice to have some testcase that includes simulating connection failures. | ||||
| Additional Information | My best idea for testing this is doing it system-wide: we should have an (optional!) fail-sometimes mode that we insert into libgnunetutil.so. If the respective option is enabled, client/server connections should be 'randomly' shut down (by literally doing a 'shutdown(RW)' call on the socket "just for fun"). If all tests still reliably pass in that test mode (for different failure frequencies), the service APIs should be reasonably robust. | ||||
