Overhaul the WASI guest data plane for throughput and add the host
capabilities it relies on. The externally driven Tokio runtime now
runs its timer pre-turn only when a tracked deadline has expired,
and all WASI-reachable timers (STUN, port mapping, WebClient, UDP
flow cleanup) go through the portable time facade so conditional
timer driving cannot starve them.
Data plane:
- Move read/write deadlines onto TCP and UDP resources with one ABI
setter per direction, reuse a single expiration timer per
resource, and drop timeout arguments from the four hot data-plane
submissions (ABI v3). Checked absolute instants treat
unrepresentable finite timeouts as unbounded instead of panicking.
- Batch host traffic: vectored TCP frame writes combine queued
slices into one host operation, and reads request a bounded 64
KiB while retaining excess bytes in the stream buffer.
- Complete TCP writes inside the guest with cancellation-safe
writes, reporting the completed prefix before honoring
cancellation or timeout so hosts never replay bytes.
- Repoll smoltcp egress immediately on zero poll delay, enlarge
virtual UDP receive queues to 128 KiB payload with 128 metadata
slots, and bound UDP session receive buffers to 8 KiB plus one
byte while keeping oversized-datagram detection.
Host integration:
- Add optional algorithm-neutral AEAD seal/open imports with the
ring backend as fallback, and pin the ring AES-128-GCM wire vector
so the Go host stays interoperable.
- Forward instance events to hosts through one best-effort,
synchronous, non-blocking import.
- Add a repository-owned build entry point for the Go host artifact:

* perf(core): make data-plane idle check constant time
Avoid scanning every DashMap shard for each peer packet when no data-plane flows are active.
Publish the flow count before insertion and release it after removal so an Acquire load is a safe O(1) idle signal. Reject count overflow and underflow instead of silently saturating.
* test(perf): add repeatable two-node netns benchmark
Create isolated underlay namespaces, pin both EasyTier cores and iperf3 endpoints, and measure a single TCP flow in both directions over either UDP or TCP peer transport.
Keep every iperf3 JSON result and emit directional medians while cleaning up processes and namespaces on every exit path.
* perf(tcp): preserve native owned stream halves
Let each VirtualTcpSocket adapter consume itself into independent read and write halves. Portable adapters retain the generic shared split as a default.
Use lock-free Tokio owned halves for native TCP and Unix streams so tunnel I/O no longer takes the generic split mutex on every poll. Cover full-duplex traffic and write-half shutdown.
* perf(packet): preserve ownership across the Host seam
Introduce an opaque, move-only HostPacket that retains core packet storage while exposing only the raw IP payload. Clear private headers before handing storage back to a native TUN adapter.
Use an ownership-preserving bounded channel for native ingress and egress. Keep explicit copy adapters for Vec and WASI boundaries, and verify allocation identity, backpressure, shutdown, and end-to-end delivery.
* perf(udp): preserve packet ownership through sessions
Carry EasyTier tunnel packets through UDP session queues as owned values. Reuse the existing tunnel header for session framing instead of copying payloads into a second packet and rebuilding them on receive.
Keep completion delivery for the public datagram socket API while removing the unused completion channel from streaming tunnel sends. Avoid the unconditional receive-side clone before QUIC routing is known.
* perf(peer): publish packet filters as immutable snapshots
Replace per-packet async and synchronous registry locks with ArcSwap snapshots. Permanent filters now need no activity checks, while managed registrations retain explicit acquire/release visibility.
Closing a managed registration marks it inactive before atomically removing it. Existing snapshots keep in-flight filters alive, and registration mutations prune inactive entries while preserving newest-first order.
* perf(instance): give native hosts direct packet egress
Let the core create one bounded HostPacket channel and transfer its receiver directly to a PacketEgressHost during startup. Native TUN runtimes now consume that receiver without the intermediate PacketSink channel and forwarding task.
Keep PacketSinkEgress as the compatibility adapter for callback and test hosts, and make receiver installation one-shot across desktop, mobile, and disabled runtimes.
* perf(crypto): restore accelerated native AEAD backends
Move Ring and OpenSSL implementations behind the core Encryptor seam.
Portable builds continue selecting only supported backends.
Restore historical precedence: OpenSSL, Ring, then RustCrypto. Keep
backend availability consistent across secure transports and cover
fixed-nonce wire compatibility between implementations.
* perf(udp): receive native datagrams into owned buffers
Extend the portable UDP socket seam with an owned-datagram receive path.
Keep a compatible default for portable hosts. Native Unix sockets write
recvmsg output directly into the final BytesMut allocation.
This removes the per-packet stack-to-heap copy introduced by the portable
socket boundary without exposing native socket resources to core.
* perf(data-plane): remove portable hot-path overhead
Restore native throughput lost while generalizing the host and UDP
session layers.
Read packet policy once per send, update traffic counters through
registry guards, and preserve packet ownership while UDP dispatch
borrows stable session state.
Move UDP shutdown monitoring into a control task so forwarding avoids
a select future per packet. Bound native datagram storage to 8 KiB,
reject oversized sends, and drop truncated Unix receives.
Keep accelerated AEAD selection warning-free when portable crypto
features are also built. Cover session bounds, truncation, and idle
shutdown with regression tests.
* fix(udp): preserve portable datagram receive semantics
Keep the public portable receive capacity at the theoretical UDP
maximum instead of silently shrinking it to the native fast-path limit.
Apply the 8 KiB session boundary after a complete portable receive,
so Windows cannot turn an oversized datagram into a fatal listener
error and other adapters cannot dispatch a truncated prefix.
Cover dropping an oversized packet while the same portable socket
continues to deliver the following valid datagram.
* fix(ci): align feature gating with backend selection
Compile the Ring implementation in production only when OpenSSL is not
selected, while retaining it for cross-backend unit tests.
Remove stale test imports and assert UDP dispatch results so the strict
workspace Clippy job passes without suppressing diagnostics.
the punching task creator doesn't check if the task is already
running, and may create many punching task to same peer node.
this patch also improve hole punching by checking hole punch packet
even if punch rpc is failed.
