Thomas Eizinger a4fef5f6e7 test(connlib): index ICMP packets by custom payload (#6438)
In the `tunnel_test` test suite, we send ICMP requests with arbitrary
sequence numbers and identifiers. Due to the NAT implementation of the
gateway, the sequence number and identifier chosen by the client are not
necessarily the same as the ones sent to the resource. Thus, it is
impossible to correlate the ICMP packets sent by the client with the
ones arriving at the gateway.

Currently, our test suite thus relies on the ordering of packets to
match them up and assert properties on them, like whether they target
the correct resource. As soon as we want to send multiple packets
concurrently, this order is not necessarily stable.

ICMP echo requests can contain an arbitrary payload. We utilise this
payload to embed a random u64 that acts as the unique identifier of an
ICMP request. This allows us to correlate the packets arriving at the
gateway with the ones sent by the client, making the test suite more
robust and ready for handling concurrent ICMP packets.

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
