cmux: Connection Mux Travis Build Status GoDoc

cmux is a generic Go library to multiplex connections based on their payload. Using cmux, you can serve gRPC, SSH, HTTPS, HTTP, Go RPC, and pretty much any other protocol on the same TCP listener.

How-To

Simply create your main listener, create a cmux for that listener, and then match connections:

// Create the main listener.
l, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":23456")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Create a cmux.
m := cmux.New(l)

// Match connections in order:
// First grpc, then HTTP, and otherwise Go RPC/TCP.
grpcL := m.Match(cmux.HTTP2HeaderField("content-type", "application/grpc"))
httpL := m.Match(cmux.HTTP1Fast())
trpcL := m.Match(cmux.Any()) // Any means anything that is not yet matched.

// Create your protocol servers.
grpcS := grpc.NewServer()
grpchello.RegisterGreeterServer(grpcs, &server{})

httpS := &http.Server{
	Handler: &helloHTTP1Handler{},
}

trpcS := rpc.NewServer()
s.Register(&ExampleRPCRcvr{})

// Use the muxed listeners for your servers.
go grpcS.Serve(grpcL)
go httpS.Serve(httpL)
go trpcS.Accept(trpcL)

// Start serving!
m.Serve()

Take a look at other examples in the GoDoc.

Performance

There is room for improvment but, since we are only matching the very first bytes of a connection, the performance overheads on long-lived connections (i.e., RPCs and pipelined HTTP streams) is negligible.

TODO(soheil): Add benchmarks.

Limitations

  • TLS: net/http uses a type assertion to identify TLS connections; since cmux's lookahead-implementing connection wraps the underlying TLS connection, this type assertion fails. Because of that, you can serve HTTPS using cmux but http.Request.TLS would not be set in your handlers.

  • Different Protocols on The Same Connection: cmux matches the connection when it's accepted. For example, one connection can be either gRPC or REST, but not both. That is, we assume that a client connection is either used for gRPC or REST.

  • Java gRPC Clients: Java gRPC client blocks until it receives a SETTINGS frame from the server. If you are using the Java client to connect to a cmux'ed gRPC server please match with writers:

grpcl := m.MatchWithWriters(cmux.HTTP2MatchHeaderFieldSendSettings("content-type", "application/grpc"))

Types

type CMux

type CMux interface {
	// Match returns a net.Listener that sees (i.e., accepts) only
	// the connections matched by at least one of the matcher.
	//
	// The order used to call Match determines the priority of matchers.
	Match(...Matcher) net.Listener
	// MatchWithWriters returns a net.Listener that accepts only the
	// connections that matched by at least of the matcher writers.
	//
	// Prefer Matchers over MatchWriters, since the latter can write on the
	// connection before the actual handler.
	//
	// The order used to call Match determines the priority of matchers.
	MatchWithWriters(...MatchWriter) net.Listener
	// Serve starts multiplexing the listener. Serve blocks and perhaps
	// should be invoked concurrently within a go routine.
	Serve() error
	// HandleError registers an error handler that handles listener errors.
	HandleError(ErrorHandler)
	// sets a timeout for the read of matchers
	SetReadTimeout(time.Duration)
}

CMux is a multiplexer for network connections.

func New

func New(l net.Listener) CMux

New instantiates a new connection multiplexer.

type ErrNotMatched

type ErrNotMatched struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ErrNotMatched is returned whenever a connection is not matched by any of the matchers registered in the multiplexer.

func (ErrNotMatched) Error

func (e ErrNotMatched) Error() string

func (ErrNotMatched) Temporary

func (e ErrNotMatched) Temporary() bool

Temporary implements the net.Error interface.

func (ErrNotMatched) Timeout

func (e ErrNotMatched) Timeout() bool

Timeout implements the net.Error interface.

type ErrorHandler

type ErrorHandler func(error) bool

ErrorHandler handles an error and returns whether the mux should continue serving the listener.

type MatchWriter

type MatchWriter func(io.Writer, io.Reader) bool

MatchWriter is a match that can also write response (say to do handshake).

func HTTP2MatchHeaderFieldSendSettings

func HTTP2MatchHeaderFieldSendSettings(name, value string) MatchWriter

HTTP2MatchHeaderFieldSendSettings matches the header field and writes the settings to the server. Prefer HTTP2HeaderField over this one, if the client does not block on receiving a SETTING frame.

type Matcher

type Matcher func(io.Reader) bool

Matcher matches a connection based on its content.

func Any

func Any() Matcher

Any is a Matcher that matches any connection.

func HTTP1

func HTTP1() Matcher

HTTP1 parses the first line or upto 4096 bytes of the request to see if the conection contains an HTTP request.

func HTTP1Fast

func HTTP1Fast(extMethods ...string) Matcher

HTTP1Fast only matches the methods in the HTTP request.

This matcher is very optimistic: if it returns true, it does not mean that the request is a valid HTTP response. If you want a correct but slower HTTP1 matcher, use HTTP1 instead.

func HTTP1HeaderField

func HTTP1HeaderField(name, value string) Matcher

HTTP1HeaderField returns a matcher matching the header fields of the first request of an HTTP 1 connection.

func HTTP2

func HTTP2() Matcher

HTTP2 parses the frame header of the first frame to detect whether the connection is an HTTP2 connection.

func HTTP2HeaderField

func HTTP2HeaderField(name, value string) Matcher

HTTP2HeaderField resturns a matcher matching the header fields of the first headers frame.

func PrefixMatcher

func PrefixMatcher(strs ...string) Matcher

PrefixMatcher returns a matcher that matches a connection if it starts with any of the strings in strs.

type MuxConn

type MuxConn struct {
	net.Conn
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

MuxConn wraps a net.Conn and provides transparent sniffing of connection data.

func (*MuxConn) Read

func (m *MuxConn) Read(p []byte) (int, error)

From the io.Reader documentation:

When Read encounters an error or end-of-file condition after successfully reading n > 0 bytes, it returns the number of bytes read. It may return the (non-nil) error from the same call or return the error (and n == 0) from a subsequent call. An instance of this general case is that a Reader returning a non-zero number of bytes at the end of the input stream may return either err == EOF or err == nil. The next Read should return 0, EOF.
