3 * lsquic_pr_queue.h -- a queue of packet requests
4 *
5 * Some packets need to be replied to outside of context of existing
6 * mini or full connections:
7 *
8 *  1. A version negotiation packet needs to be sent when a packet
9 *     arrives that specifies QUIC version that we do not support.
10 *  2. A public reset packet needs to be sent when we receive a
11 *     packet that does not belong to a known QUIC connection.
12 *
13 * The replies cannot be sent immediately.  They share outgoing
14 * socket with existing connections and must be scheduled according
15 * to prioritization rules.
16 *
17 * The information needed to generate reply packet  -- connection ID,
18 * connection context, and the peer address -- is saved in the Packet
19 * Request Queue.
20 *
21 * When it is time to send packets, the connection iterator knows to
22 * call prq_next_conn() when appropriate.  What is returned is an
23 * evanescent connection object that disappears as soon as the reply
24 * packet is successfully sent out.
25 *
26 * There are two limits associated with Packet Request Queue:
27 *  1. Maximum number of packet requests that are allowed to be
28 *     pending at any one time.  This is simply to prevent memory
29 *     blowout.
30 *  2. Maximum verneg connection objects to be allocated at any one
31 *     time.  This number is the same as the maximum batch size in
32 *     the engine, because the packet (and, therefore, the connection)
33 *     is returned to the Packet Request Queue when it could not be
34 *     sent.
35 *
36 * We call this a "request" queue because it describes what we do with
37 * QUIC packets whose version we do not support or those packets that
38 * do not belong to an existing connection: we send a reply for each of
39 * these packets, which effectively makes them "requests."
