----------------------------------------
Summary: [c, cpp] Idle connections closed with TCP FIN cause
framing errors
Key: PROTON-2173
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2173
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Bug
Components: proton-c
Affects Versions: proton-c-0.30.0
Reporter: Charles E. Rolke
This issue was mis-characterized in PROTON-2162 but the same basic problem
stands. When a completely idle connection is closed with an incoming TCP FIN
then the connection emits a close frame with a framing error. This is a normal,
clean connection close and there is no framing error.
Demonstrate this using cpp examples direct_recv and simple_send.
* modify simple_send on_sendable() so that it just returns without sending
anything
* run direct_recv
* run simple_send
* let it sit. There is no traffic.
* kill simple_end by pid with dash 9
* simple_send prints "killed"
* direct_recv prints "amqp:connection:framing-error: connection aborted"
Wireshark shows three frames over the wire:
* --> 5672 FIN
* <-- 5672 CLOSE amqp:connection:framing-error:connection aborted
* --> 5672 RST
This is an abnormal connection closure. One end has sent a FIN and then later
the other end sends a message to it. The OS should never have to reply to that
message with a RST.
AmqpNetLite gets it right. Run examples PeerToPeer.Server and .Client with
client modified never to send anything but just open the connection and sit
there. Then kill the client. Over the wire:
* --> 5672 FIN
* <-- 5672 FIN ACK
* --> 5672 ACK
This is a normal connection closure TCP handshake. The server prints:
Exception: The transport 'ListenerTcpTransport' is closed.
Dispatch customers are asking why there are so many framing errors even when
running common utilities like qdstat. And there are so many framing errors
reported that if a real framing error ever shows up it will never be seen.
