commit 63abf52ec640a019f8c45c1208f0dfb585641781
Padding: add offset!=length check to reduce safety check calls
Adds another check when parsing a set. The check "offset !=
self.header.length" allows to skip the padding checks if the offset is
the same as the length, not calling rest_is_padding_zeroes and wasting
CPU time.

Finish IPFIX padding handling
Tested implementation of IPFIX set padding handling. Uses TK-Khaw's
proposed no_padding_last_offset calculation, extended as modulo
calculation to match multiple data set records.
Tests were conducted by capturing live traffic on a test machine with
tcpdump, then this capture file was read in by softflowd 1.1.0, with the
collector.py as the export target. The exported IPFIX (v10) packets were
then using both no padding and padding, so that tests could be
validated.

IPFIX: handle padding (zero bytes) in sets
Adds a check to each IPFIX set ID branch, checking if the rest of the
bytes in this set is padding/zeroes.

This commit replaces multiple occurences of new features which were not
yet implemented with Python 3.5.3, which is the reference backwards
compatibility version for this package. The version is based on the
current Python version in Debian Stretch (oldstable). According to
pkgs.org, all other distros use 3.6+, so 3.5.3 is the lower boundary.
Changes:
* Add maxsize argument to functools.lru_cache decorator
* Replace f"" with .format()
* Replace variable type hints "var: type = val" with "# type:" comments
* Replace pstats.SortKey enum with strings in performance tests
Additionally, various styling fixes were applied.
The version compatibility was tested with tox, pyenv and Python 3.5.3,
but there is no tox.ini yet which automates this test.
Bump patch version number to 0.10.3
Update author's email address.
Resolves#27
Templates may be withdrawn as per RFC7011. Receiving a template with an
existing template_id and a field_count of 0 now triggers deletion of
this template.
Parts of the IPFIXFieldTypes class were extracted into the new
IPFIXDataTypes class, to increase readability and stability.
The IPFIXDataRecord class and its field parser is now more in tune with
the specifications, handling signed and unsigned, as well as float,
boolean and UTF8 strings etc.
Corresponding tests were extended with softflowd packets (level
"ethernet") and value checks (e.g. MAC address).
Resolves#25
In IPFIX, template fields can be signed or unsigned, or even be pure
bytes or unicode string. This differentiation was extended in this
commit.
Additionally, the IPFIX_FIELD_TYPES dict mapping from int->str was
replaced by a more verbose version, which also includes the standardized
IANA data types. The class' methods provides access to the fixed data
set. This is then used in the IPFIXDataRecord parser.

The function send_recv_packets in tests stored all processed
ExportPackets by default in a list. Memory usage tests were therefore
based on this high amount of stored objects, since no instance of any
ExportPacket was deleted until exit.
With the new parameter store_packets the caller can define how many
packets should be stored during receiving, as to test multiple
scenarios.
Three such scenarios are implemented: don't store any packet, store
maximum of 500 at a time and store all packets. This comes much closer
to the real world scenario of the collector, which uses a "for export in
listener.get" loop, dumping any new ExportPacket to file immediatelly
and then deleting the object.
Yet, the case where all packets are stored must still be covered as
well, because the collector might not be the only implementation which
uses listener.get, so finding memory leaks should be covered.
Analyzer test was missing imports.
IPFIX templates with 16 bytes fields were processed extra, since struct
does not natively support conversion to int. The new implementation
still handles it extra, but uses struct's "s" unpack format descriptor
now.
Python struct does not natively support 16 byte fields. But since IPFIX
uses fields of length 16 bytes for at least IPv6 addresses, they must be
processed in the IPFIX parser. This commit adds support for 16 byte
fields by handling them as special struct.unpack cases.
Second half of the IPFIX implementation now adds the support for data
records. The templates are also extracted, allowing the collector to use
them across exports.
The field types were extracted from the IANA assignment list at
https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipfix/ipfix-information-elements.csv
Please note that the IPFIX implementation was made from scratch and
differs from the NetFlow v9 implementation, as there was little
copy/paste.
Adds a new module, IPFIX. The collector already recognizes version 10 in
the header, meaning IPFIX. The parser is able to dissect the export
package and all sets with their headers.
Missing is the handling of the templates in the data sets - a feature
needed for the whole parsing process to complete.
