People stil get confused about the messages. This commit changes
the levels so that the only thing printed at the default level (info)
is a successful mapping.
The test listens for multicast UDP packets on the default interface
because I couldn't get it to work reliably on loopback without massive
changes to goupnp. This means that the test might fail when there is a
UPnP-enabled router attached on that interface. I checked that locally
by looping the test and it passes reliably because the local SSDP server
always responds faster.
Concurrent calls to Interface methods on autodisc could return a "not
discovered" error if the discovery did not finish before the call.
autodisc.wait expected the done channel to carry the found Interface
but it was closed instead.
The fix is to use sync.Once for now, which is easier to get right.
And there is a test. Finally.
This will have to change again when we introduce re-discovery.
We don't have a UDP which specifies any messages that will be 4KB. Aside from being implemented for months and a necessity for encryption and piggy-backing packets, 1280bytes is ideal, and, means this TODO can be completed!
Why 1280 bytes?
* It's less than the default MTU for most WAN/LAN networks. That means fewer fragmented datagrams (esp on well-connected networks).
* Fragmented datagrams and dropped packets suck and add latency while OS waits for a dropped fragment to never arrive (blocking readLoop())
* Most of our packets are < 1280 bytes.
* 1280 bytes is minimum datagram size and MTU for IPv6 -- on IPv6, a datagram < 1280bytes will *never* be fragmented.
UDP datagrams are dropped. A lot! And fragmented datagrams are worse. If a datagram has a 30% chance of being dropped, then a fragmented datagram has a 60% chance of being dropped. More importantly, we have signed packets and can't do anything with a packet unless we receive the entire datagram because the signature can't be verified. The same is true when we have encrypted packets.
So the solution here to picking an ideal buffer size for receiving datagrams is a number under 1400bytes. And the lower-bound value for IPv6 of 1280 bytes make's it a non-decision. On IPv4 most ISPs and 3g/4g/let networks have an MTU just over 1400 -- and *never* over 1500. Never -- that means packets over 1500 (in reality: ~1450) bytes are fragmented. And probably dropped a lot.
Just to prove the point, here are pings sending non-fragmented packets over wifi/ISP, and a second set of pings via cell-phone tethering. It's important to note that, if *any* router between my system and the EC2 node has a lower MTU, the message would not go through:
