This PR fixes IPv6 UDP hole punching for peers with multiple public IPv6
addresses by adding two RPC signals:
- connector_addrs: connector-side candidate public IPv6 socket addresses
that the remote peer should punch back to.
- preferred_src_ipv6: remote listener IPv6 address that the remote peer
should use as the UDP source when sending hole-punch packets back.
Together, these let the connector try all usable local IPv6 candidates
while keeping the remote punch-back
packet sourced from the same IPv6 address that the connector is dialing.
Adds a Linux-only socket_mark u32 config flag (CLI: --socket-mark, env:
ET_SOCKET_MARK, TOML/proto: flags.socket_mark, 0 = disabled) that is
applied as SO_MARK to every outbound underlay socket EasyTier creates:
TCP, UDP, QUIC, WebSocket, WireGuard connectors and listeners, plus the
FakeTCP decoy socket. Lets the host policy-route or filter EasyTier
underlay traffic with 'ip rule fwmark ...' or iptables -m mark.
Plumbing mirrors the existing bind_device pattern:
- FlagsInConfig.socket_mark (proto) + default 0 in gen_default_flags
- bind() builder gets a socket_mark arg; setup_socket2_ext calls
apply_socket_mark which is a no-op for mark=0 and on non-Linux
- TunnelConnector trait gets set_socket_mark(u32) default-no-op method
- IP-based connectors override; create_listener_by_url and the connector
factory pass mark from global_ctx flags
- QUIC threads mark through QuicEndpointManager::{server,connect}
- WebSocket/FakeTCP/TCP default-bind bypass paths apply mark via
socket2::SockRef::from(&tokio_socket)
- ForeignNetworkEntry propagates parent socket_mark into its derived ctx
Includes a Linux smoke test plus a CAP_NET_ADMIN-gated test that does a
getsockopt(SO_MARK) round-trip to confirm the kernel applied the value.
SO_MARK requires CAP_NET_ADMIN; ignored silently on non-Linux. FakeTCP's
TUN-written segments are not covered (kernel doesn't tag raw TUN
writes); operators relying on fwmark for FakeTCP must apply an iptables
rule on the FakeTCP TUN device separately.

When a node has public IPv6 addresses allocated by EasyTier, those addresses
are installed on the host's network interfaces. The system would then pick
them up as candidate source/destination addresses for underlay connections
(direct peer, UDP hole punch, bind addresses), causing overlay traffic to
loop back into the overlay itself.
Add a central predicate is_ip_easytier_managed_ipv6() and apply it at every
point where IPv6 addresses are selected for underlay use:
- Filter managed IPv6 from DNS-resolved connector addresses, including a
UDP socket getsockname check to detect whether the OS would route through
the overlay to reach a destination
- Skip managed IPv6 in bind address selection and STUN candidate filtering
- Strip managed IPv6 from GetIpListResponse RPC so peers never learn them
- Pass pre-resolved addresses to tunnel connectors to avoid re-resolution

Normalize composite tunnel display values before rendering peer and
debug output so IPv6 tunnel types no longer append `6` to the port.
- Preserve prefixes like `txt-` while converting tunnel schemes to
their IPv6 form.
- Recover malformed values such as `txt-tcp://...:110106` into
`txt-tcp6://...:11010`.
- Reuse the normalized remote address display in CLI debug output.
Some devices have ipv6 but don't allow input connection, this patch add hole punching for these devices.
- **add v6 hole punch msg to udp tunnel**
- **send hole punch packet when do ipv6 direct connect**
1. dns resolver should be global unique so dns cache can work. avoid dns query influence hole punching.
2. when system dns failed, fallback to hickory dns.
* optimize memory issues
1. introduce jemalloc support, which can dump current memory usage
2. reduce the GlobalEvent broadcaster memory usage.
3. reduce tcp & udp tunnel memory usage
TODO: if peer conn tunnel hangs, the unbounded channel of peer rpc
may consume lots of memory, which should be improved.
* select a port from 15888+ when port is 0
* support ipv6 stun
* show interface and public ip in cli node info
* direct conn should keep trying unless already direct connected
* peer should use conn with smallest latency
* deprecate ipv6_listener, use -l instead
this patch optimize the udp hole punch logic:
1. allow start punch hole before stun test complete.
2. add lock to symmetric punch, avoid conflict between concurrent hole punching task.
3. support punching hole for predictable nat4-nat4.
4. make backoff of retry reasonable
This patch removes Tarpc & Tonic GRPC and implements a customized rpc framework, which can be used by peer rpc and cli interface.
web config server can also use this rpc framework.
moreover, rewrite the public server logic, use ospf route to implement public server based networking. this make public server mesh possible.
icmp/udp proxy do not rely on kernel net stack, but currently not handle ip fragmentation correctly.
this patch add ip resembler to merge fragmented ip packet for udp/icmp proxy
