Detailed Description

Channel struct; see the channel_t typedef in or.h. A channel is an abstract interface for the OR-to-OR connection, similar to connection_or_t, but without the strong coupling to the underlying TLS implementation. They are constructed by calling a protocol-specific function to open a channel to a particular node, and once constructed support the abstract operations defined below.

◆ padding_timeout_high_ms

uint16_t padding_timeout_high_ms

Definition at line 260 of file channel.h.

◆ padding_timeout_low_ms

uint16_t padding_timeout_low_ms

These two fields specify the minimum and maximum negotiated timeout values for inactivity (send or receive) before we decide to pad a channel. These fields can be set either via a PADDING_NEGOTIATE cell, or the torrc option ReducedConnectionPadding. The consensus parameters nf_ito_low and nf_ito_high are used to ensure that padding can only be negotiated to be less frequent than what is specified in the consensus. (This is done to prevent wingnut clients from requesting excessive padding).

The actual timeout value is randomly chosen between these two values as per the table in channelpadding_get_netflow_inactive_timeout_ms(), after ensuring that these values do not specify lower timeouts than the consensus parameters.

If these are 0, we have not negotiated or specified custom padding times, and instead use consensus defaults.
