Thomas Eizinger 9caca475dc test(connlib): introduce routing table to tunnel_test (#5786)
Currently, `tunnel_test` uses a rather naive approach when dispatching
`Transmit`s. In particular, it checks client, gateway and relay
separately whether they "want" a certain packet. In a real network,
these packets are routed based on their IP.

To mimic something similar, we introduce a `Host` abstraction that wraps
each component: client, gateway and relay. Additionally, we introduce a
`RoutingTable` where we can add and remove hosts. With these things in
place, routing a `Transmit` is as easy as looking up the destination IP
in the routing table and dispatching to the corresponding host.

Our hosts are type-safe: client, gateway and relay have different types.
Thus, we abstract over them using a `HostId` in order to know, which
host a certain message is for. Following these patches, we can easily
introduce multiple gateways and relays to this test by simply making
more entries in this routing table. This will increase the test coverage
of connlib.

Lastly, this patch massively increases the performance of `tunnel_test`.
It turns out that previously, we spent a lot of CPU cycles accessing
"random" IPs from very large iterators. With this patch, we take a
limited range of 100 IPs that we sample from, thus drastically
increasing performance of this test. The configured 1000 testcases
execute in 3s on my machine now (with opt-level 1 which is what we use
in CI).

Rust development guide

Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.

We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml. If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you. Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.

Reading Client logs

The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.

To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:

cd path/to/logs  # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'

Resulting in, e.g.

2024-04-01T18:25:47.238193266Z INFO GIT_VERSION = 1.0.0-pre.11-35-gcc0d43531
