One such structure is present for each VPN - * tunnel, and is stored in \c context.c2.fragment of the \c context - * associated with that VPN tunnel. - * - * @par - * The \c fragment_master structure contains one \c fragment_list - * structure \c fragment_master.incoming. This is a list of \c fragment - * structures, each of which can store the parts of one fragmented packet - * while it is being reassembled. The \c fragment_master structure also - * contains one \c buffer called \c fragment_master.outgoing, in which a - * data channel large packet to be sent to a remote OpenVPN peer can be - * broken up into parts to be sent one by one. - * - * @par Initialization and cleanup - * Every time a new \c fragment_master is needed, it must be allocated and - * initialized by the \c fragment_init() function. Similarly, every time - * a \c fragment_master is no longer needed, it must be cleaned up using - * the \c fragment_free() function. These functions take care of the - * allocation and freeing of the \c fragment_master structure itself and - * all internal memory required for the use of that structure. Note that - * this behavior is different from that displayed by the \link compression - * Data Channel Compression module\endlink. - * - * @par - * Because of the one-to-one relationship between \c fragment_master - * structures and VPN tunnels, the above-mentioned initialization and - * cleanup functions are called directly from the \c init_instance() and - * \c close_instance() functions, which control the initialization and - * cleanup of VPN tunnel instances and their associated \c context - * structures. - * - * @par Packet processing functions - * This module receives data channel packets from the \link data_control - * Data Channel Control module\endlink and processes them according to the - * settings of the packet's VPN tunnel. The \link data_control Data - * Channel Control module\endlink uses the following interface functions: - * - For packets which will be sent to a remote OpenVPN peer: \c - * fragment_outgoing() \n This function inspects data channel packets as - * they are being made ready to be sent as VPN tunnel packets to a - * remote OpenVPN peer. If a packet's size is larger than its - * destination VPN tunnel's maximum transmission unit (MTU), then this - * module breaks that packet up into smaller parts, each of which is - * smaller than or equal to the VPN tunnel's MTU. See \c - * fragment_outgoing() for details. - * - For packets which have been received from a remote OpenVPN peer: \c - * fragment_incoming() \n This function inspects data channel packets - * that have been received from a remote OpenVPN peer through a VPN - * tunnel. It reads the fragmentation header of the packet, and - * depending on its value performs the appropriate action. See \c - * fragment_incoming() for details. - * - * @par Settings that control this module's activity - * Whether the Data Channel Fragmentation module is active or not depends - * on the compile-time \c ENABLE_FRAGMENT preprocessor macro and the - * runtime flag \c options.fragment, which gets its value from the - * process's configuration sources, such as the configuration file and - * commandline %options. - */ |
