BLE transport implementation using L2CAP Connection-Oriented Channels (SeqPacket mode) via the bluer crate, behind cfg(feature = "ble"). Core transport: - BleTransport<I> generic over BleIo trait (BluerIo prod, MockBleIo test) - Connection pool with priority eviction (static > discovered, max 7) - Connect-on-send via connect_inline() matching TCP behavior - Per-connection receive loops with pool cleanup on disconnect Discovery and probing: - Combined scan_probe_loop using select! over scanner events and a BinaryHeap delay queue with per-entry random jitter (0-5s) to prevent herd effects when multiple nodes see the same beacon simultaneously - Pre-handshake pubkey exchange ([0x00][pubkey:32]) for IK identity - Cross-probe tie-breaker: smaller NodeAddr's outbound wins (same convention as FMP/FSP rekey dual-initiation) - Probed peers reported to DiscoveryBuffer; pool fills through normal node-layer auto-connect -> send_async -> connect_inline path Beacon management: - Periodic advertising: 1s burst every 30s (configurable via beacon_interval_secs / beacon_duration_secs) - FIPS service UUID for scan filtering Configuration (all fields optional with defaults): - adapter, psm, mtu, max_connections, connect_timeout_ms - advertise, scan, auto_connect, accept_connections - beacon_interval_secs (30), beacon_duration_secs (1) Hardware validated with two BLE nodes: - 2048-byte MTU, ~60-160ms RTT, zero-config auto-connect - BLE spike tool at testing/ble/ for standalone adapter validation 42 unit tests + 4 node-level integration tests, all CI-compatible via MockBleIo (no hardware required). tokio test-util added for time-dependent scan/probe tests.
FIPS Testing
Integration and simulation test harnesses for FIPS, using Docker containers running the full protocol stack.
Test Harnesses
static/ -- Static Docker Network
Fixed topologies with manual scripts for building, config generation, connectivity tests (ping, iperf), and network impairment (netem). Useful for deterministic debugging and validating specific topology configurations.
| Topology | Nodes | Transport | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| mesh | 5 | UDP | Sparse mesh, 6 links, multi-hop |
| chain | 5 | UDP | Linear chain, max 4-hop paths |
| mesh-public | 5+1 | UDP | Mesh with external public node |
| tcp-chain | 3 | TCP | Linear chain over TCP (port 8443) |
| rekey | 5 | UDP | Rekey integration test topology |
tor/ -- Tor Transport Integration
End-to-end Tor transport testing with Docker containers running real Tor daemons. Requires internet access for Tor bootstrapping.
| Scenario | Description |
|---|---|
| socks5-outbound | Outbound SOCKS5 connections through Tor to clearnet peer |
| directory-mode | Inbound via HiddenServiceDir onion service (co-located) |
chaos/ -- Stochastic Simulation
Automated network testing with configurable node counts, topology algorithms (random geometric, Erdos-Renyi, chain, explicit), and fault injection (netem mutation, link flaps, traffic generation, node churn). 20 scenarios covering general stress testing, cost-based parent selection, mixed link technologies (fiber/Bluetooth/WiFi), transport-specific validation (UDP, TCP, Ethernet), and ECN/congestion testing. Scenarios are defined in YAML and executed via a Python harness that manages the full lifecycle: topology generation, Docker orchestration, fault scheduling, log collection, and analysis.
