The processing includes packet - * compression, fragmentation, and the performing of security operations - * on the packets. This module does not do the processing itself, but - * passes the packet to other data channel modules to perform the - * appropriate actions. - * - * Packets can travel in two directions through the data channel. They - * can be going to a remote destination which is reachable through a VPN - * tunnel, in which case this module prepares them to be sent out through - * a VPN tunnel. On the other hand, they can have been received through a - * VPN tunnel from a remote OpenVPN peer, in which case this module - * retrieves the packet in its original form as it was before entering the - * VPN tunnel on the remote OpenVPN peer. How this module processes - * packets traveling in the two directions is discussed in more detail - * below. - * - * @par Packets to be sent to a remote OpenVPN peer - * This module's main function for processing packets traveling in this - * direction is \c encrypt_sign(), which performs the following processing - * steps: - * - Call the \link compression Data Channel Compression module\endlink to - * perform packet compression if necessary. - * - Call the \link fragmentation Data Channel Fragmentation - * module\endlink to perform packet fragmentation if necessary. - * - Call the \link data_crypto Data Channel Crypto module\endlink to - * perform the required security operations. - * - * @par - * See the \c encrypt_sign() documentation for details of these - * interactions. - * - * @par - * After the above processing is complete, the packet is ready to be sent - * to a remote OpenVPN peer as a VPN tunnel packet. The actual sending of - * the packet is handled by the \link external_multiplexer External - * Multiplexer\endlink. - * - * @par Packets received from a remote OpenVPN peer - * The function that controls how packets traveling in this direction are - * processed is \c process_incoming_link(). That function, however, also - * performs some of the tasks required for the \link external_multiplexer - * External Multiplexer\endlink and is therefore listed as part of that - * module, instead of here. - * - * @par - * After the \c process_incoming_link() function has determined that a - * received packet is a data channel packet, it performs the following - * processing steps: - * - Call the \link data_crypto Data Channel Crypto module\endlink to - * perform the required security operations. - * - Call the \link fragmentation Data Channel Fragmentation - * module\endlink to perform packet reassembly if necessary. - * - Call the \link compression Data Channel Compression module\endlink to - * perform packet decompression if necessary. - * - * @par - * See the \c process_incoming_link() documentation for details of these - * interactions. - * - * @par - * After the above processing is complete, the packet is in its original - * form again as it was received by the remote OpenVPN peer. It can now - * be routed further to its final destination. If that destination is a - * locally reachable host, then the \link internal_multiplexer Internal - * Multiplexer\endlink will send it there. - */ |
