Instead of keeping one pair of RX and TX timestamp for each address, add
a separate RX->TX map using an ordered circular buffer. Save the RX
timestamps as 64-bit integers and search them with a combined linear
interpolation and binary algorithm.
This enables the server to support multiple interleaved clients sharing
the same IP address (e.g. NAT) and it will allow other improvements to
be implemented later. A drawback is that a single broken client sending
interleaved requests at a high rate (without spoofing the source
address) can now prevent clients on other addresses from getting
interleaved responses.
The total number of saved timestamps does not change. It's still
determined by the clientloglimit directive. A new option may be added
later if needed. The whole buffer is allocated at once, but only on
first use to not waste memory on client-only configurations.
This is a collection of simulation tests using the clknetsim simulator
(supported on Linux only).
https://github.com/mlichvar/clknetsim
The CLKNETSIM_PATH environment variable should point to the directory where
clknetsim was downloaded and compiled. If the variable is not set, the tests
will look for clknetsim in ./clknetsim in the current directory.
The tests are written in bash and they can be run directly. The ./run script
runs all tests.
