So we would have > "endpoint" and "forwarding" addresses, but "initiating" and "target" > side, right? Yes, and all four combinations are valid. We have an initiating endpoint address, an initiating forwarding address, a target forwarding address and a target endpoint address. > An alternative could be "client" / "server", it should be always > correct, but it would sound a bit strange for ICMP and UDP.

It turns out to be harder to write / use flowside_ntop() than I thought. In the current log messages, the two flowsides are actually displayed in reverse order: endpoint then forwarding for the initiating side, forwarding then endpoint for the target side. That gives the overall order that makes the most sense to me, because it's the order the payload of the initiating packet goes through. But that means we'd need an order parameter for flowside_ntop() or something, and it all becomes a bit of a mess. > > > > } > > > > > > > > /** > > > > - * flow_initiate() - Move flow to INI state, setting INISIDE details > > > > + * flow_initiate_() - Move flow to INI state, setting pif[INISIDE] > > > > * @flow: Flow to change state > > > > * @pif: pif of the initiating side > > > > */ > > > > -void flow_initiate(union flow *flow, uint8_t pif) > > > > +static void flow_initiate_(union flow *flow, uint8_t pif) > > > > > > I don't feel like the underscore here is really necessary. > > > > Yeah, I'm trying to convey that it's not safe to call this directly - > > it won't perform a correct state transition without the extra logic in > > flow_initiate_af() and flow_initiate_sa(). > > Ah, I see now, okay. > -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
