Problem running netProxy

[swatson0]

Hello, I am attempting to use the netProxy software to proxy a TCP connection between two hosts. However, I have not been successful at transmitting any packets between the hosts using iPerf. Tracing the code execution, I have found that netProxy correctly identifies that the packet should be handled. Then,
TCP::handleTCPPacketFromHost makes a call to ConnectionManager::queryConnectionToRemoteHostForConnectorType. In that method, a mutex lock is set. Then, in the same code block, a call is made to ConnectionManager::findConnectivitySolutionsToRemoteHost, which itself attempts to set a mutex lock. At this point, thread execution appears to hang.

Hello, I am sorry you are having issues using NetProxy. The code on GitHub is not updated to the same version we are using internally, and so it is very well possible that issues such as potential deadlocks and memory leaks have been fixed in our codebase, but those fixes have not been uploaded to GitHub, yet. While we will surely update the code as soon as possible, I could send you the updated code so that you can compile and use that version. If that is OK with you, just send me your email address and I will send you a zip archive with the new source code. Ciao, Alessandro
