Add initial TCP reconstruction implementation - #163
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR adds an alloc-gated TCP reassembly module with stream buffers, acknowledgment policies, connection identity, bidirectional pooling, bounded storage, lifecycle events, packet adapters, tests, regression seeds, and executable examples for generated packets and PCAP files. ChangesTCP stream reassembly
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds TCP extraction functionality, but the new example can retain incomplete IP fragments indefinitely when timeout is set to zero, and feature-disabled example builds currently fail.

Buffers pushed onto
finished_data_bufs/finished_section_bufskeep their allocated capacity (a data buffer can be as large asmax_capacity, 1 MiB by default). While the count is bounded by peak concurrent streams, a single traffic spike keeps that memory resident for the pool's lifetime.

| ## Unreleased | ||
|
|
||
| * Added TCP stream reassembly support (in the `std`-only `tcp_reassembly` module, contains allocations): | ||
| * `TcpStreamReassemblyBuf`, a re-usable buffer that reconstructs the payload byte stream of a single direction of a TCP connection. It is robust against retransmits, re-ordered & duplicated/overlapping segments, big offset jumps and 32 bit sequence number wrap-around (all bookkeeping is done in a monotonic 64 bit "absolute stream offset" space). Data is exposed in-place via `contiguous` and freed via `consume` ("collect then clean"). |

alloc-gated code documents the std-only TcpStreamReassemblyPool. The module gate is feature = "alloc", but tcp_stream_reassembly_pool and its re-export stay behind feature = "std" (etherparse/src/tcp_reassembly/mod.rs lines 31-34). Every doc link and doctest that names the pool therefore has an unresolvable target in an alloc-only build. Pick one strategy, for example a #[cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), doc = "...")] split or plain-text mentions without intra-doc links, then apply it at each site.

- Around line 192-201: Update the eviction guard around evict_inactive so the
interval-based call still runs when timeout is zero, while ensuring TCP
connection eviction remains disabled for a zero timeout. Split the timeout
handling inside evict_inactive so fragment cleanup always occurs independently
of the connection timeout.
- Line 192: Add an explicit [[example]] configuration for pcap_tcp_extract in
Cargo.toml with required-features set to std, so builds without default features
skip this std-only example. Keep the existing example behavior unchanged.

Gate the example on std
pcap_tcp_extract.rs uses TcpStreamReassemblyPool, which is available only with std. Add an explicit [[example]] entry in etherparse/Cargo.toml with required-features = ["std"]; otherwise cargo build --examples --no-default-features attempts to compile the example and fails. The declared MSRV 1.83.0 is sufficient.

--timeout 0 also disables the IP fragment cleanup.
evict_inactive performs two independent jobs: it finishes inactive TCP connections and it discards fragments of IP packets that were never completed (Line 299-301). The guard at Line 192 skips the whole call when timeout is zero. The --timeout help text at Line 110-111 only announces that the connection timeout is disabled. A capture with lost fragments then grows defrag_pool without a bound.
Run the eviction on the interval always and guard only the connection part with the timeout.
🐛 Proposed fix
- if false == timeout.is_zero() && next_eviction.is_none_or(|next| packet.time >= next) {
+ if next_eviction.is_none_or(|next| packet.time >= next) {
next_eviction = packet.time.checked_add(EVICTION_INTERVAL);Then split the two timeouts in evict_inactive:
- if let Some(cutoff) = now.checked_sub(timeout) {
- tcp_pool.evict_older_than_with(&cutoff, |id, connection| {
- // last chance to get at the data of the connection
- out.close(id, Some(connection), CloseReason::Timeout);
- });
+ if false == timeout.is_zero() {
+ if let Some(cutoff) = now.checked_sub(timeout) {
+ tcp_pool.evict_older_than_with(&cutoff, |id, connection| {
+ // last chance to get at the data of the connection
+ out.close(id, Some(connection), CloseReason::Timeout);
+ });
+ }
