When a link endpoint is re-created (e.g. after a node reboot or interface reset), the link session number is varied by random, the peer endpoint will be synced with this new session number before the link is re-established. However, there is a shortcoming in this mechanism that can lead to the link never re-established or faced with a failure then. It happens when the peer endpoint is ready in ESTABLISHING state, the 'peer_session' as well as the 'in_session' flag have been set, but suddenly this link endpoint leaves. When it comes back with a random session number, there are two situations possible: 1/ If the random session number is larger than (or equal to) the previous one, the peer endpoint will be updated with this new session upon receipt of a RESET_MSG from this endpoint, and the link can be re- established as normal. Otherwise, all the RESET_MSGs from this endpoint will be rejected by the peer. In turn, when this link endpoint receives one ACTIVATE_MSG from the peer, it will move to ESTABLISHED and start to send STATE_MSGs, but again these messages will be dropped by the peer due to wrong session. The peer link endpoint can still become ESTABLISHED after receiving a traffic message from this endpoint (e.g. a BCAST_PROTOCOL or NAME_DISTRIBUTOR), but since all the STATE_MSGs are invalid, the link will be forced down sooner or later! Even in case the random session number is larger than the previous one, it can be that the ACTIVATE_MSG from the peer arrives first, and this link endpoint moves quickly to ESTABLISHED without sending out any RESET_MSG yet. Consequently, the peer link will not be updated with the new session number, and the same link failure scenario as above will happen. 2/ Another situation can be that, the peer link endpoint was reset due to any reasons in the meantime, its link state was set to RESET from ESTABLISHING but still in session, i.e. the 'in_session' flag is not reset... Now, if the random session number from this endpoint is less than the previous one, all the RESET_MSGs from this endpoint will be rejected by the peer. In the other direction, when this link endpoint receives a RESET_MSG from the peer, it moves to ESTABLISHING and starts to send ACTIVATE_MSGs, but all these messages will be rejected by the peer too. As a result, the link cannot be re-established but gets stuck with this link endpoint in state ESTABLISHING and the peer in RESET! Solution: =========== This link endpoint should not go directly to ESTABLISHED when getting ACTIVATE_MSG from the peer which may belong to the old session if the link was re-created. To ensure the session to be correct before the link is re-established, the peer endpoint in ESTABLISHING state will send back the last session number in ACTIVATE_MSG for a verification at this endpoint. Then, if needed, a new and more appropriate session number will be regenerated to force a re-synch first. In addition, when a link in ESTABLISHING state is reset, its state will move to RESET according to the link FSM, along with resetting the 'in_session' flag (and the other data) as a normal link reset, it will also be deleted if requested. The solution is backward compatible.
