Detailed Description

Transmission Control Protocol for IP

This file contains common functions for the TCP implementation, such as functinos for manipulating the data structures and the TCP timer functions. TCP functions related to input and output is found in tcp_in.c and tcp_out.c respectively.


Function Documentation

void tcp_abort ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb  ) 

Aborts a connection by sending a RST to the remote host and deletes the local protocol control block. This is done when a connection is killed because of shortage of memory.

Parameters:
pcb the tcp_pcb to abort

void tcp_accept ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
err_t(*)(void *arg, struct tcp_pcb *newpcb, err_t err)  accept 
)

Used for specifying the function that should be called when a LISTENing connection has been connected to another host.

Parameters:
pcb tcp_pcb to set the accept callback
accept callback function to call for this pcb when LISTENing connection has been connected to another host

struct tcp_pcb* tcp_alloc ( u8_t  prio  )  [read]

Allocate a new tcp_pcb structure.

Parameters:
prio priority for the new pcb
Returns:
a new tcp_pcb that initially is in state CLOSED

void tcp_arg ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
void *  arg 
)

Used to specify the argument that should be passed callback functions.

Parameters:
pcb tcp_pcb to set the callback argument
arg void pointer argument to pass to callback functions

err_t tcp_bind ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
struct ip_addr *  ipaddr,
u16_t  port 
)

Binds the connection to a local portnumber and IP address. If the IP address is not given (i.e., ipaddr == NULL), the IP address of the outgoing network interface is used instead.

Parameters:
pcb the tcp_pcb to bind (no check is done whether this pcb is already bound!)
ipaddr the local ip address to bind to (use IP_ADDR_ANY to bind to any local address
port the local port to bind to
Returns:
ERR_USE if the port is already in use ERR_OK if bound

err_t tcp_close ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb  ) 

Closes the connection held by the PCB.

Listening pcbs are freed and may not be referenced any more. Connection pcbs are freed if not yet connected and may not be referenced any more. If a connection is established (at least SYN received or in a closing state), the connection is closed, and put in a closing state. The pcb is then automatically freed in tcp_slowtmr(). It is therefore unsafe to reference it.

Parameters:
pcb the tcp_pcb to close
Returns:
ERR_OK if connection has been closed another err_t if closing failed and pcb is not freed

err_t tcp_connect ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
struct ip_addr *  ipaddr,
u16_t  port,
err_t(*)(void *arg, struct tcp_pcb *tpcb, err_t err)  connected 
)

Connects to another host. The function given as the "connected" argument will be called when the connection has been established.

Parameters:
pcb the tcp_pcb used to establish the connection
ipaddr the remote ip address to connect to
port the remote tcp port to connect to
connected callback function to call when connected (or on error)
Returns:
ERR_VAL if invalid arguments are given ERR_OK if connect request has been sent other err_t values if connect request couldn't be sent

void tcp_debug_print ( struct tcp_hdr *  tcphdr  ) 

Print a tcp header for debugging purposes.

Parameters:
tcphdr pointer to a struct tcp_hdr

void tcp_debug_print_flags ( u8_t  flags  ) 

Print tcp flags for debugging purposes.

Parameters:
flags tcp flags, all active flags are printed

void tcp_debug_print_pcbs ( void   ) 

Print all tcp_pcbs in every list for debugging purposes.

void tcp_debug_print_state ( enum tcp_state  s  ) 

Print a tcp state for debugging purposes.

Parameters:
s enum tcp_state to print

u16_t tcp_eff_send_mss ( u16_t  sendmss,
struct ip_addr *  addr 
)

Calcluates the effective send mss that can be used for a specific IP address by using ip_route to determin the netif used to send to the address and calculating the minimum of TCP_MSS and that netif's mtu (if set).

void tcp_err ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
void(*)(void *arg, err_t err)  errf 
)

Used to specify the function that should be called when a fatal error has occured on the connection.

Parameters:
pcb tcp_pcb to set the err callback
errf callback function to call for this pcb when a fatal error has occured on the connection

void tcp_fasttmr ( void   ) 

Is called every TCP_FAST_INTERVAL (250 ms) and process data previously "refused" by upper layer (application) and sends delayed ACKs.

Automatically called from tcp_tmr().

struct tcp_pcb* tcp_listen_with_backlog ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
u8_t  backlog 
) [read]

Set the state of the connection to be LISTEN, which means that it is able to accept incoming connections. The protocol control block is reallocated in order to consume less memory. Setting the connection to LISTEN is an irreversible process.

Parameters:
pcb the original tcp_pcb
backlog the incoming connections queue limit
Returns:
tcp_pcb used for listening, consumes less memory.
Note:
The original tcp_pcb is freed. This function therefore has to be called like this: tpcb = tcp_listen(tpcb);

struct tcp_pcb* tcp_new ( void   )  [read]

Creates a new TCP protocol control block but doesn't place it on any of the TCP PCB lists. The pcb is not put on any list until binding using tcp_bind().

u32_t tcp_next_iss ( void   ) 

Calculates a new initial sequence number for new connections.

Returns:
u32_t pseudo random sequence number

void tcp_pcb_purge ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb  ) 

Purges a TCP PCB. Removes any buffered data and frees the buffer memory (pcb->ooseq, pcb->unsent and pcb->unacked are freed).

Parameters:
pcb tcp_pcb to purge. The pcb itself is not deallocated!

void tcp_pcb_remove ( struct tcp_pcb **  pcblist,
struct tcp_pcb *  pcb 
)

Purges the PCB and removes it from a PCB list. Any delayed ACKs are sent first.

Parameters:
pcblist PCB list to purge.
pcb tcp_pcb to purge. The pcb itself is also deallocated!

s16_t tcp_pcbs_sane ( void   ) 

Check state consistency of the tcp_pcb lists.

void tcp_poll ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
err_t(*)(void *arg, struct tcp_pcb *tpcb)  poll,
u8_t  interval 
)

Used to specify the function that should be called periodically from TCP. The interval is specified in terms of the TCP coarse timer interval, which is called twice a second.

void tcp_recv ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
err_t(*)(void *arg, struct tcp_pcb *tpcb, struct pbuf *p, err_t err)  recv 
)

Used to specify the function that should be called when a TCP connection receives data.

Parameters:
pcb tcp_pcb to set the recv callback
recv callback function to call for this pcb when data is received

void tcp_recved ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
u16_t  len 
)

This function should be called by the application when it has processed the data. The purpose is to advertise a larger window when the data has been processed.

Parameters:
pcb the tcp_pcb for which data is read
len the amount of bytes that have been read by the application

struct tcp_seg* tcp_seg_copy ( struct tcp_seg *  seg  )  [read]

Returns a copy of the given TCP segment. The pbuf and data are not copied, only the pointers

Parameters:
seg the old tcp_seg
Returns:
a copy of seg

u8_t tcp_seg_free ( struct tcp_seg *  seg  ) 

Frees a TCP segment (tcp_seg structure).

Parameters:
seg single tcp_seg to free
Returns:
the number of pbufs that were deallocated

u8_t tcp_segs_free ( struct tcp_seg *  seg  ) 

Deallocates a list of TCP segments (tcp_seg structures).

Parameters:
seg tcp_seg list of TCP segments to free
Returns:
the number of pbufs that were deallocated

void tcp_sent ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
err_t(*)(void *arg, struct tcp_pcb *tpcb, u16_t len)  sent 
)

Used to specify the function that should be called when TCP data has been successfully delivered to the remote host.

Parameters:
pcb tcp_pcb to set the sent callback
sent callback function to call for this pcb when data is successfully sent

void tcp_setprio ( struct tcp_pcb *  pcb,
u8_t  prio 
)

Sets the priority of a connection.

Parameters:
pcb the tcp_pcb to manipulate
prio new priority

void tcp_slowtmr ( void   ) 

Called every 500 ms and implements the retransmission timer and the timer that removes PCBs that have been in TIME-WAIT for enough time. It also increments various timers such as the inactivity timer in each PCB.

Automatically called from tcp_tmr().

void tcp_tmr ( void   ) 

Called periodically to dispatch TCP timers.
