Received QUIC packets are stored in quic_conn Rx buffer after header protection removal in qc_rx_pkt_handle(). These packets are then removed after quic_conn IO handler via qc_treat_rx_pkts(). If HP cannot be removed, packets are still copied into quic_conn Rx buffer. This can happen if encryption level TLS keys are not yet available. The packet remains in the buffer until HP can be removed and its content processed. An issue occurs if client emits a 0-RTT packet but haproxy does not have the shared secret, for example after a haproxy process restart. In this case, the packet is copied in quic_conn Rx buffer but its HP won't ever be removed. This prevents the buffer to be purged. After some time, if the client has emitted enough packets, Rx buffer won't have any space left and received packets are dropped. This will cause the connection to freeze. To fix this, remove any 0-RTT buffered packets on handshake completion. At this stage, 0-RTT packets are unnecessary anymore. The client is expected to reemit its content in 1-RTT packet which are properly deciphered. This can easily reproduce with HTTP/3 POST requests or retrieving a big enough object, which will fill the Rx buffer with ACK frames. Here is a picoquic command to provoke the issue on haproxy startup : $ picoquicdemo -Q -v 00000001 -a h3 <hostname> 20443 "/?s=1g" Note that allow-0rtt must be present on the bind line to trigger the issue. Else haproxy will reject any 0-RTT packets. This must be backported up to 2.6. This could be one of the reason for github issue #2549 but it's unsure for now.
HAProxy
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:
- INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
- BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
- LICENSE for the project's license
- CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions
The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
- doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
- doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
- doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
- doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
- doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
- doc/management.txt for the management guide
- doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
- doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
- doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
- doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
