Rough design notitions:
|
||||
|
||||
decpcap handles pcap. nethogs.cpp asks to be notified of all IPv4 or IPv6
|
||||
TCP packets.
|
||||
|
||||
the IP callbacks store the source and destination addresses into the user
|
||||
data. The TCP callback makes a Packet out of it, finds the Connection
|
||||
corresponding to that packet, and adds the packet to the connection.
|
||||
|
||||
If no connection is found, a new one is constructed, and the process
|
||||
related to that connection is found though getProcess.
|
||||
|
||||
If needed, the screen is refreshed.
|
||||
|
||||
If, in getProcess, no corresponding process is found, the connection is
|
||||
added to the 'unknown' process.
|
||||
|
||||
To prevent connections from accidentally ending up in the 'unknown' process,
|
||||
and then staying there indefinitely, we should maybe walk though
|
||||
the unknownproc's connections whenever the connection-to-inode table is
|
||||
refreshed.
|
||||
And maybe, while there are still unknown connections, the connection-to-inode
|
||||
table should be updated regularly.
