\subsubsection{Nix: A Safe and Policy-Free System for Software Deployment}
|
||||
|
||||
Nix addresses significant issues in software deployment by utilizing
|
||||
cryptographic hashes to ensure unique paths for component instances
|
||||
\cite{dolstra_nix_2004}. Features such as concurrent installation of
|
||||
multiple versions, atomic upgrades, and safe garbage collection make
|
||||
Nix a flexible deployment system. This work uses Nix to ensure that
|
||||
all VPN builds and system configurations are deterministic.

||||
|
||||
\subsubsection{NixOS: A Purely Functional Linux Distribution}
|
||||
|
||||
NixOS extends Nix principles to Linux system configuration
|
||||
\cite{dolstra_nixos_2008}. System configurations are reproducible and
|
||||
isolated from stateful interactions typical in imperative package
|
||||
management. This property is essential for ensuring identical test
|
||||
environments across benchmark runs.

\subsubsection{UDP NAT and Firewall Puncturing in the Wild}
|
||||
|
||||
Halkes and Pouwelse~\cite{halkes_udp_2011} measure UDP hole punching
|
||||
efficacy on a live P2P network using the Tribler BitTorrent client.
|
||||
Their study finds that 79\% of peers are unreachable due to NAT or
|
||||
firewall restrictions, yet 64\% reside behind configurations amenable
|
||||
to hole punching. Among compatible peers, over 80\% of puncturing
|
||||
attempts succeed, establishing hole punching as a practical NAT
|
||||
traversal technique. Their timeout measurements further indicate that
|
||||
keep-alive messages must be sent at least every 55 seconds to maintain
|
||||
open NAT mappings.
|
||||
|
||||
These findings directly inform the evaluation criteria for this thesis.
|
||||
All mesh VPNs tested rely on UDP hole punching for NAT traversal;
|
||||
the 80\% success rate sets a baseline expectation, while the 55-second
|
||||
timeout informs analysis of each implementation's keep-alive behavior
|
||||
during source code review.
