Description

The STUN Binding usage allows for easily creating and parsing STUN Binding requests and responses. It offers both an asynchronous and a synchronous API that uses the STUN timer usage.

Details

enum StunUsageBindReturn

typedef enum {
  STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_SUCCESS,
  STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_ERROR,
  STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_INVALID,
  STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_ALTERNATE_SERVER,
  STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_TIMEOUT,
} StunUsageBindReturn;

Return value of stun_usage_bind_process() and stun_usage_bind_run() which allows you to see what status the function call returned.

STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_SUCCESS The binding usage succeeded
STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_ERROR There was an unknown error in the bind usage
STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_INVALID The message is invalid and should be ignored
STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_ALTERNATE_SERVER The binding request has an ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute
STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_TIMEOUT The binding was unsuccessful because it has timed out.

stun_usage_bind_create ()

size_t              stun_usage_bind_create              (StunAgent *agent,
                                                         StunMessage *msg,
                                                         uint8_t *buffer,
                                                         size_t buffer_len);

Create a new STUN binding request to use with a STUN server.

agent : The StunAgent to use to create the binding request
msg : The StunMessage to build
buffer : The buffer to use for creating the StunMessage
buffer_len : The size of the buffer
Returns : The length of the built message.

stun_usage_bind_process ()

StunUsageBindReturn stun_usage_bind_process             (StunMessage *msg,
                                                         struct sockaddr *addr,
                                                         socklen_t *addrlen,
                                                         struct sockaddr *alternate_server,
                                                         socklen_t *alternate_server_len);

Process a STUN binding response and extracts the mapped address from the STUN message. Also checks for the ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute.

msg : The StunMessage to process
addr : A pointer to a sockaddr structure to fill with the mapped address that the STUN server gives us
addrlen : The length of add. rMust be set to the size of the addr socket address and will be set to the actual length of the socket address.
alternate_server : A pointer to a sockaddr structure to fill with the address of an alternate server to which we should send our new STUN binding request, in case the currently used STUN server is requesting the use of an alternate server. This argument will only be filled if the return value of the function is STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_ALTERNATE_SERVER
alternate_server_len : The length of alternate_server. Must be set to the size of the alternate_server socket address and will be set to the actual length of the socket address.
Returns : A StunUsageBindReturn value. Note that STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_TIMEOUT cannot be returned by this function

stun_usage_bind_keepalive ()

size_t              stun_usage_bind_keepalive           (StunAgent *agent,
                                                         StunMessage *msg,
                                                         uint8_t *buf,
                                                         size_t len);

Creates a STUN binding indication that can be used for a keepalive. Since this is an indication message, no STUN response will be generated and it can only be used as a keepalive message.

agent : The StunAgent to use to build the message
msg : The StunMessage to build
buf : The buffer to use for creating the StunMessage
len : The size of the buf
Returns : The length of the message to send

stun_usage_bind_run ()

StunUsageBindReturn stun_usage_bind_run                 (const struct sockaddr *srv,
                                                         socklen_t srvlen,
                                                         struct sockaddr *addr,
                                                         socklen_t *addrlen);

This is a convenience function that will do a synchronous Binding request to a server and wait for its answer. It will use the StunUsageTrans and StunUsageTimer usages to send the request and handle the response.

srv : A pointer to the sockaddr structure representing the STUN server's address
srvlen : The length of srv
addr : A pointer to a sockaddr structure to fill with the mapped address that the STUN server gives us
addrlen : The length of addr
Returns : A StunUsageBindReturn. Possible return values are STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_SUCCESS, STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_ERROR and STUN_USAGE_BIND_RETURN_TIMEOUT
