So the next stage of implementation has been achieved: client-side support in the Connect dialog.
It has been tested by using Examples for a directory-enabled server running on port 22120:

The next step is to try implementing the connected-mode TCP described here |

Since we'll have a long time for the 4.0 release, I'd enable it by default soon (of course once we've tested that the basics work)

No, I disagree. It's a server-only option, and most servers operators will not need to enable TCP support. Only those running large directories or large servers will need to, and they also need to understand and configure their firewall requirements.
TCP support in the client will indeed be enabled by default, but will only take effect when talking to a directory or server that has enabled it.
If a server operator enables TCP without having configured their firewall correctly, client users could have problems as the server would advertise TCP support to the client, but the client could be unable to connect.

Can we not give an error message or fallback procedure in case the TCP connection timed out?

Yes, I'm sure we can. I haven't yet tested that scenario.
But it doesn't negate my view that server-side TCP support needs to be an explicit option.

Since when do we have a long time?
There's absolutely no benefit to anyone involved in the project - developers or users - in having long release cycles.
A version cut takes very little time - apart from the translation process. Even then, getting used to more, small changes is likely to speed things up generally.

Well I've finished implementing everything I intended to, for directory, server and client, so it's ready for reviewing and trying out, as and when time permits (post 3.12.0). I have a private directory and server built and running with TCP support, at In order to demonstrate the use of TCP in a new client's connect dialog, it will be necessary to use custom firewall filters on the client end to temporarily drop incoming UDP Jamulus protocol messages containing a server list or connected clients list. There is full forward and backward compatibility between clients and servers built with TCP support and older versions. |

Keeping as draft, because it will need quite a few debug messages removed before merging. |

## Summary
Define and apply a consistent resource-limit policy for unauthenticated network paths.
PR `#3636` adds a TCP listener that accepts sockets before `CLM_CLIENT_ID` token validation. Each accepted `CTcpConnection` currently allocates a 20,000-byte receive buffer and holds a socket until disconnect or timeout. The same review identified unauthenticated list-request work in the UDP protocol path. `CRpcServer` limits request size, but its connection and request-rate behavior needs separate assessment.
This issue is deliberately broader than TCP-only admission control. The project needs a consistent policy for public listeners and unauthenticated requests.
## Affected areas
- `src/tcpserver.cpp`: `CTcpServer::AcceptConnections`
- `src/tcpconnection.cpp`: per-connection receive allocation and timeout behavior
- `src/protocol.cpp`, `src/server.cpp`, and `src/serverlist.cpp`: connectionless server-list and client-list requests
- RPC listener and request handling
## Required work
1. Inventory externally reachable, unauthenticated connection and request paths.
2. Define global, per-source, and request-rate limits where appropriate.
3. Define rejection behavior, logging, and cleanup behavior when a limit is reached.
4. Apply the policy consistently, or document justified exceptions.
5. Add focused tests or an executable test plan for limit enforcement and recovery.
## Acceptance criteria
- Public unauthenticated paths have documented bounded resource use.
- Excess connections and requests are rejected before expensive per-request work where practical.
- Limits do not prevent normal Jamulus client, directory, and RPC operation.
- The implementation includes adequate tests or reproducible test procedures.

I found no remaining merge-blocking issue in the prior must-fix list. The lifecycle, framing, listener-platform, fallback-ordering, and resource-limit topics remain validation or design work. This assessment is based on source and documentation inspection; it does not replace runtime testing. You are interacting with an AI system. |

Agree. We should review again and then test again. One day this should really be merged... |

OK, to be merge-ready, can we have it squashed into a single commit? I don't think it fits a "several, self-contained, dependent commits" approach: it's just "one change". |

docs/TCP.md:7
- Remove the duplicated “up to be up to” phrase.
The UDP protocol itself allows datagrams up to be up to nearly 65535 bytes in size, minus any protocol overhead. IPv4 will allow nearly all of this size to be used, in theory. If the IPv4 datagram being sent by a node (host or router) is too large to fit into a single packet on the outgoing interface, the IP protocol will fragment the packet into pieces that do fit, with IP headers that contain the information needed to order and reassemble the fragments into a single datagram at the receiving end. Normally intermediate hops do not perform any reassembly, but will further fragment an IP packet if it will not fit the MTU of the outgoing interface.
docs/TCP.md:89
- Use “receive” after “should.”
b. A newer client that supports TCP should received the `CLM_TCP_OFFERED` message *after* it has received and processed the UDP client list, unless fragmentation (or another cause) prevented the list from arriving.
docs/TCP.md:220
- Use “servers or directories”; “servers of directories” is not grammatical in this context.
Most operators of small servers of directories will not need to be concerned with TCP at all. _The only server operators who will need to enable TCP support are those running large directories (e.g. Volker, Peter) or those running a large server designed to support many simultaneous client connections._

| ## THE PROBLEM BEING SOLVED | ||
|
|
||
| All Jamulus protocol (non-audio) messages are currently delivered over the same UDP channel as the audio. For most protocol messages, this is fine, but those that send a list of servers from a directory, or a list of clients from a server, can generate a UDP datagram that is too large to fit into a single physical packet. Physical packets are constrained by the MTU of the Ethernet interface (normally 1500 bytes or less), and further by any limitations in links between hops on the internet. Neither the client nor the server has any control over these limitation. It's also possible a large welcome message could require fragmentation. |
| 7. Server sends `REQ_NETW_TRANSPORT_PROPS` to ask for the clients network transport parameters. | ||
|
|
||
| 8. Client sends `NETW_TRANSPORT_PROPS` containing the codec, packet size, number of channels, bitrate, etc. | ||
|
|
||
| 9. Server sends `REQ_JITT_BUF_SIZE` to ask for the client's required jitter buffer sizes. | ||
|
|
||
| 10. Client sends `JIT_BUF_SIZE`, containing the positions of the "server" jitter buffer slider in the Settings dialog. This is telling the server what size jitter buffer to use for receiving audio data from the client. (The position of the "client" jitter buffer slider is not needed by the server, as it is only used locally in the client). | ||
|
|
||
| 11. Server sends `REQ_CHANNEL_INFOS` to ask for the identity information for the channel. | ||
|
|
||
| 12. Client sends `CHANNEL_INFOS` containing the identity information from the user's profile settings in the client (country, instrument, skill level, name, city). | ||
|
|
||
| 13. Now that the server has received the `CHANNEL_INFOS` from the client, it starts to send the mixed audio stream to the client. | ||
|
|
||
| 14. Server sends `CHAT_TEXT` containing the server welcome message, if any. If there is none, this message is skipped. | ||
|
|
||
| 15. Server sends `VERSION_AND_OS` to tell the client the version of Jamulus on the server and the server platform. |
Yes, I'll do that when it's ready. Still a few more items to address. I'll keep the commits separate while reviews are still happening, as it makes it easier to identify new changes. |

If a server-list or client-list entry is still A successful TCP reply remains correct. Commit The regression-test part of the review comment is not addressed. Neither commit changes a test file or adds coverage for a TCP peer that disconnects before it sends its reply. I found no whitespace errors in the two-commit range. This assessment is based on source inspection. Runtime validation of the disconnect-before-reply path is still needed. You are interacting with an AI system. |
I believe this situation does not apply in practice. A client will only ever have a single in-flight TCP request for a server list or client list from a particular address. It is also not clear to me how else a specific entry might be identified at the time. |

Therefore, an old one-shot TCP connection cannot remove a newer TCP request for the same endpoint through the normal request path. The maps do not store connection identity, but they do not need to do so under this invariant. I withdraw the comment. A same-endpoint replacement test is not required for this finding. 🐇 You are interacting with an AI system. |

5-5: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winQualify the baseline transport statement.
Line 5 says that all non-audio messages currently use UDP. The final implementation can send server-list and client-list messages over TCP when TCP is enabled and negotiated. State that this describes the behavior without TCP fallback.
Proposed wording
-All Jamulus protocol (non-audio) messages are currently delivered over the same UDP channel as the audio. +Without TCP fallback, Jamulus protocol (non-audio) messages are delivered over the same UDP channel as the audio.This follows the client TCP fallback flow in

Short description of changes
Support fallback to TCP for protocol messages, in order to overcome potential loss of large messages due to UDP fragmentation.
Currently an incomplete draft, for comment as development continues.CHANGELOG: Client/Server: Support TCP fallback for protocol messages.
Context: Fixes an issue?
Discussed in issue #3242.
Does this change need documentation? What needs to be documented and how?
It will need documentation once design and development are complete. Particularly need to explain the firewall requirements for a server or directory.
Status of this Pull Request
Incomplete, still under development. Main server side complete and working. Client side development in progress.Complete and ready for review and testing.Still marked draft asit needs some of the debug messages to be commented out before merging.What is missing until this pull request can be merged?
A lot of testing of both server and client. Intended for Jamulus 4.0.0.
