CLOUDSTACK-9348: NioConnection improvements
- Unit test to demonstrate denial of service attack
The NioConnection uses blocking handlers for various events such as
connect,
accept, read, write. In case a client connects NioServer (used by
agent mgr to service agents on port 8250) but fails to participate in SSL
handshake or just sits idle, this would block the main IO/selector loop in
NioConnection. Such a client could be either malicious or aggresive.
This unit test demonstrates such a malicious client that can perform a
denial-of-service attack on NioServer that blocks it to serve any other
client.
- Use non-blocking SSL handshake
- Uses non-blocking socket config in NioClient and NioServer/NioConnection
- Scalable connectivity from agents and peer clustered-management server
- Removes blocking ssl handshake code with a non-blocking code
- Protects from denial-of-service issues that can degrade mgmt server
responsiveness
due to an aggressive/malicious client
- Uses separate executor services for handling ssl handshakes
