47 /* Frame Streams data transfer protocol encode for DNSTAP messages.
48  * The protocol looks to be specified in the libfstrm library.
49  *
50  * Quick writeup for DNSTAP usage, from reading fstrm/control.h eloquent
51  * comments and fstrm/control.c for some bytesize details (the content type
52  * length).
53  *
54  * The Frame Streams can be unidirectional or bi-directional.
55  * bi-directional streams use control frame types READY, ACCEPT and FINISH.
56  * uni-directional streams use control frame types START and STOP.
57  * unknown control frame types should be ignored by the receiver, they
58  * do not change the data frame encoding.
59  *
60  * bi-directional control frames implement a simple handshake protocol
61  * between sender and receiver.
62  *
63  * The uni-directional control frames have one start and one stop frame,
64  * before and after the data.  The start frame can have a content type.
65  * The start and stop frames are not optional.
66  *
67  * data frames are preceded by 4byte length, bigendian.
68  * zero length data frames are not possible, they are an escape that
69  * signals the presence of a control frame.
70  *
71  * a control frame consists of 0 value in 4byte bigendian, this is really
72  * the data frame length, with 0 the escape sequence that indicates one
73  * control frame follows.
74  * Then, 4byte bigendian, length of the control frame message.
75  * Then, the control frame payload (of that length). with in it:
76  *   4byte bigendian, control type (eg. START, STOP, READY, ACCEPT, FINISH).
77  *   perhaps nothing more (STOP, FINISH), but for other types maybe
78  *   control fields
79  *      4byte bigendian, the control-field-type, currently only content-type.
80  *      4byte bigendian, length of the string for this option.
81  *      .. bytes of that string.
82  *
83  * The START type can have only one field.  Field max len 256.
84  * control frame max frame length 512 (excludes the 0-escape and control
85  * frame length bytes).
86  *
87  * the bidirectional type of transmission is like this:
88  * client sends READY (with content type included),
89  * client waits for ACCEPT (with content type included),
90  * client sends START (with matched content type from ACCEPT)
91  * .. data frames
92  * client sends STOP.
93  * client waits for FINISH frame.
