TODO

High priority

Medium priority

• Use thin LTO?

• Add release-debug profile?

• quit whole program if any thread panics

• config: fail on unrecognized keys?

• Run cargo-deny in CI

• aquatic_ws

  • RES memory still high after traffic stops, even if torrent maps and connection slabs go down to 0 len and capacity
    • replacing indexmap_amortized / simd_json with equivalents doesn't help
  • SinkExt::send maybe doesn't wake up properly?
    • related to https://github.com/sdroege/async-tungstenite/blob/master/src/compat.rs#L18 ?

• extract_response_peers

  • don't assume requesting peer is in list?

Low priority

• config

  • add flag to print parsed config when starting

• aquatic_udp

  • look at proper cpu pinning (check that one thread gets bound per core)
    • then consider so_attach_reuseport_cbpf
  • what poll event capacity is actually needed?
  • stagger connection cleaning intervals?
  • load test
    • move additional request sending to for each received response, maybe with probability 0.2

• aquatic_ws

  • glommio
    • proper cpu set pinning
  • general
    • large amount of temporary allocations in serialize_20_bytes, pretty many in deserialize_20_bytes

• extract response peers: extract "one extra" to compensate for removal, of sender if present in selection?

Not important

• aquatic_http:

  • optimize?
    • get_peer_addr only once (takes 1.2% of runtime)
    • queue response: allocating takes 2.8% of runtime
  • consider better error type for request parsing, so that better error messages can be sent back (e.g., "full scrapes are not supported")
  • test torrent transfer with real clients
    • scrape: does it work (serialization etc), and with multiple hashes?
    • 'left' optional in magnet requests? Probably not. Transmission sends huge positive number.

• aquatic_ws

  • mio
    • shard torrent state. this could decrease dropped messages too, since request handlers won't send large batches of them
    • connection cleaning interval
    • use access list cache
    • use write event interest for handshakes too
    • deregistering before closing is required by mio, but it hurts performance
      • blocked on https://github.com/snapview/tungstenite-rs/issues/51
    • connection closing: send tls close message etc?
  • write new version of extract_response_peers which checks for equality with peer sending request???

Don't do

• general: PGO didn't seem to help way back

aquatic_http

• request from path:
  • deserialize 20 bytes: possibly rewrite (just check length of underlying bytes == 20 and then copy them), also maybe remove String from map for these cases too. doesn't really improve performance
  • crazy http parsing: check for newline with memchr, take slice until there. then iter over space newlines/just take relevant data. Not faster than httparse and a lot worse

aquatic_udp_protocol

• Use bytes crate: seems to worsen performance somewhat
• Zerocopy (https://docs.rs/zerocopy/0.3.0/zerocopy/index.html) for requests and responses. Doesn't improve performance
