Design

Keywords

• Peer: A communication instance may be a server or a client
• Socket: Base on the net.Conn package, add custom package protocol, transfer pipelines and other functions
• Message:* The corresponding structure of the data package content element
• Proto: The protocol interface of message pack/unpack
• Codec: Serialization interface for Body
• XferPipe: Message bytes encoding pipeline, such as compression, encryption, calibration and so on
• XferFilter: A interface to handle message data before transfer
• Plugin: Plugins that cover all aspects of communication
• Session: A connection session, with push, call, reply, close and other methods of operation
• Context: Handle the received or send messages
• Call-Launch: Call data from the peer
• Call-Handle: Handle and reply to the calling of peer
• Push-Launch: Push data to the peer
• Push-Handle: Handle the pushing of peer
• Router: Router that route the response handler by request information(such as a URI)

Data Message

Abstracts the data message(Message Object) of the application layer and is compatible with HTTP message:

Protocol

You can customize your own communication protocol by implementing the interface:

type (
    // Proto pack/unpack protocol scheme of socket message.
    Proto interface {
        // Version returns the protocol's id and name.
        Version() (byte, string)
        // Pack writes the Message into the connection.
        // NOTE: Make sure to write only once or there will be package contamination!
        Pack(Message) error
        // Unpack reads bytes from the connection to the Message.
        // NOTE: Concurrent unsafe!
        Unpack(Message) error
    }
    ProtoFunc func(io.ReadWriter) Proto
)

Next, you can specify the communication protocol in the following ways:

func SetDefaultProtoFunc(ProtoFunc)
type Peer interface {
    ...
    ServeConn(conn net.Conn, protoFunc ...ProtoFunc) Session
    DialContext(ctx context.Context, addr string, protoFunc ...ProtoFunc) (Session, *Rerror)
    Dial(addr string, protoFunc ...ProtoFunc) (Session, *Rerror)
    Listen(protoFunc ...ProtoFunc) error
    ...
}

Default protocol RawProto(Big Endian):

{4 bytes message length}
{1 byte protocol version}
{1 byte transfer pipe length}
{transfer pipe IDs}
# The following is handled data by transfer pipe
{1 bytes sequence length}
{sequence (HEX 36 string of int32)}
{1 byte message type} # e.g. CALL:1; REPLY:2; PUSH:3
{1 bytes service method length}
{service method}
{2 bytes metadata length}
{metadata(urlencoded)}
{1 byte body codec id}
{body}

XferPipe

Transfer filter pipe, handles byte stream of message when transfer.

// XferFilter handles byte stream of message when transfer.
type XferFilter interface {
    // ID returns transfer filter id.
    ID() byte
    // Name returns transfer filter name.
    Name() string
    // OnPack performs filtering on packing.
    OnPack([]byte) ([]byte, error)
    // OnUnpack performs filtering on unpacking.
    OnUnpack([]byte) ([]byte, error)
}
// Get returns transfer filter by id.
func Get(id byte) (XferFilter, error)
// GetByName returns transfer filter by name.
func GetByName(name string) (XferFilter, error)

// XferPipe transfer filter pipe, handlers from outer-most to inner-most.
// NOTE: the length can not be bigger than 255!
type XferPipe struct {
    // Has unexported fields.
}
func NewXferPipe() *XferPipe
func (x *XferPipe) Append(filterID ...byte) error
func (x *XferPipe) AppendFrom(src *XferPipe)
func (x *XferPipe) IDs() []byte
func (x *XferPipe) Len() int
func (x *XferPipe) Names() []string
func (x *XferPipe) OnPack(data []byte) ([]byte, error)
func (x *XferPipe) OnUnpack(data []byte) ([]byte, error)
func (x *XferPipe) Range(callback func(idx int, filter XferFilter) bool)
func (x *XferPipe) Reset()

Codec

The body's codec set.

type Codec interface {
    // ID returns codec id.
    ID() byte
    // Name returns codec name.
    Name() string
    // Marshal returns the encoding of v.
    Marshal(v interface{}) ([]byte, error)
    // Unmarshal parses the encoded data and stores the result
    // in the value pointed to by v.
    Unmarshal(data []byte, v interface{}) error
}

Plugin

Plug-ins during runtime.

type (
    // Plugin plugin background
    Plugin interface {
        Name() string
    }
    // PreNewPeerPlugin is executed before creating peer.
    PreNewPeerPlugin interface {
        Plugin
        PreNewPeer(*PeerConfig, *PluginContainer) error
    }
    ...
)

Usage

Peer(server or client) Demo

// Start a server
var peer1 = tp.NewPeer(tp.PeerConfig{

Optimize

• SetMessageSizeLimit sets max message size. If maxSize<=0, set it to max uint32.

  func SetMessageSizeLimit(maxMessageSize uint32)

• SetSocketKeepAlive sets whether the operating system should send keepalive messages on the connection.

  func SetSocketKeepAlive(keepalive bool)

• SetSocketKeepAlivePeriod sets period between keep alives.

  func SetSocketKeepAlivePeriod(d time.Duration)

• SetSocketNoDelay controls whether the operating system should delay message transmission in hopes of sending fewer messages (Nagle's algorithm). The default is true (no delay), meaning that data is sent as soon as possible after a Write.

  func SetSocketNoDelay(_noDelay bool)

• SetSocketReadBuffer sets the size of the operating system's receive buffer associated with the connection.

  func SetSocketReadBuffer(bytes int)

• SetSocketWriteBuffer sets the size of the operating system's transmit buffer associated with the connection.

  func SetSocketWriteBuffer(bytes int)
