- When one side of the TCP stream is closed, the corresponding edge

- node sends a RELAY_END cell along the circuit; upon receiving a
|
|
|
- RELAY_END cell, the edge node closes its side of the corresponding
|
|
|
- TCP stream (by sending a FIN packet), but continues to accept and
|
|
|
- package incoming data until both sides of the TCP stream are
|
|
|
- closed. At that point, the edge node sends a second RELAY_END
|
|
|
- cell, and drops its record of the stream.

|
+ Because TCP connections can be half-open, we follow an equivalent
|
|
|
+ to TCP's FIN/FIN-ACK/ACK protocol to close streams.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ A exit conneection can have a TCP stream in one of three states:
|
|
|
+ 'OPEN', 'DONE_PACKAGING', and 'DONE_DELIVERING'. For the purposes
|
|
|
+ of modeling transitions, we treat 'CLOSED' as a fourth state,
|
|
|
+ although connections in this state are not, in fact, tracked by the
|
|
|
+ onion router.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ A stream begins in the 'OPEN' state. Upon receiving a 'FIN' from
|
|
|
+ the corresponding TCP connection, the edge node sends a 'RELAY_END'
|
|
|
+ cell along the circuit and changes its state to 'DONE_PACKAGING'.
|
|
|
+ Upon receiving a 'RELAY_END' cell, an edge node sends a 'FIN' to
|
|
|
+ the corresponding TCP connection (e.g., by calling
|
|
|
+ shutdown(SHUT_WR)) and changing its state to 'DONE_DELIVERING'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ When a stream in already in 'DONE_DELIVERING' receives a 'FIN', it
|
|
|
+ also sends a 'RELAY_END' along the circuit, and changes its state
|
|
|
+ to 'CLOSED'. When a stream already in 'DONE_PACKAGING' receives a
|
|
|
+ 'RELAY_END' cell, it sends a 'FIN' and changes its state to
|
|
|
+ 'CLOSED'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ [Note: Please rename 'RELAY_END2'. :) -NM ]
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ If an edge node encounters an error on any stram, it sends a
|
|
|
+ 'RELAY_END2' cell along the circuit (if possible) and closes the
|
|
|
+ TCP connection immediately. If an edge node receives a
|
|
|
+ 'RELAY_END2' cell for any stream, it closes the TCP connection
|
|
|
+ completely, and sends nothing along the circuit.
