Bonnet Tun Exchanger Refactor: Divorce exchanger from QbonePacketWriter

The Tun exchanger code and the server-side packet-to-network logic shared an interface in an old attempt to share the same to-network logic in both client and server.  But there was so much different logic, that it didn't really do much other than very slightly simplify the one call to pass error packets backwards on being too big for the tunnel.

Needlessley restrains my ability to modify the exchanger and interface as needed for async Tun refactors, so cleaner to remove the interface. Server session keeps using its writer implementation. Client session now deals directly with the Tun exchanger.

This also fixes the subtle issue that overriding the "quic_QbonePacketWriter" test value previously could not differentiate which direction was being overridden and could insert the same mock on both ends in an integration test. Now, that test value only affects server-side network writes.

QUICHE

QUICHE stands for QUIC, Http, Etc. It is Google‘s production-ready implementation of QUIC, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, and related protocols and tools. It powers Google’s servers, Chromium, Envoy, and other projects. It is actively developed and maintained.

There are two public QUICHE repositories. Either one may be used by embedders, as they are automatically kept in sync:

To embed QUICHE in your project, platform APIs need to be implemented and build files need to be created. Note that it is on the QUICHE team's roadmap to include default implementation for all platform APIs and to open-source build files. In the meanwhile, take a look at open source embedders like Chromium and Envoy to get started:

To contribute to QUICHE, follow instructions at CONTRIBUTING.md.

QUICHE is only supported on little-endian platforms.

Build and run standalone QUICHE

QUICHE has binaries that can run on Linux platforms.

Follow the instructions to install Bazel.

sudo apt install libicu-dev clang lld
cd <directory that will be the root of your quiche implmentation>
git clone https://github.com/google/quiche.git
cd quiche
CC=clang bazel build -c opt //...
./bazel-bin/quiche/<target_name> <arguments>

There are several targets that can be built and then run. Full usage instructions are available using the --helpfull flag on any binary.

  • quic_packet_printer: from a provided packet, parses and prints out the contents that are accessible without decryption.

Usage: quic_packet_printer server|client <hex dump of packet>

  • crypto_message_printer: dumps the contents of a QUIC crypto handshake message in a human readable format.

Usage: crypto_message_printer_bin <hex of message>

  • quic_client: connects to a host using QUIC and HTTP/3, sends a request to the provided URL, and displays the response.

Usage: quic_client <URL>

  • quic_server: listens forever on --port (default 6121) until halted via ctrl-c.

  • masque_client: tunnels to a URL via an identified proxy (See RFC 9298).

Usage: masque_client [options] <proxy-url> <urls>

  • masque_server: a MASQUE tunnel proxy that defaults to port 9661.

Usage: masque_server

  • web_transport_test_server: a server that clients can connect to via WebTransport.

  • moqt_relay: a relay for the Media Over QUIC transport for publishers and subscribers can connect to.

Usage: moqt_relay

Logging

Most log messages in QUICHE use the QUICHE_DLOG macro. In standalone quiche, these all either go to stderr, or are suppressed, based on the --stderrthreshold flag.

To send INFO level log messages to a file, you would therefore invoke

<binary> <args> > <logfile> 2>&1

Use the --helpfull flag for more.
