+ # Testing connect timeout is tricky: we need to have IP connectivity
+ # to a host that silently drops our packets. We can't simulate this
+ # from Python because it's a function of the underlying TCP/IP stack.
+ # So, the following Snakebite host has been defined:
+ blackhole = ('blackhole.snakebite.net', 56666)
+
+ # Blackhole has been configured to silently drop any incoming packets.
+ # No RSTs (for TCP) or ICMP UNREACH (for UDP/ICMP) will be sent back
+ # to hosts that attempt to connect to this address: which is exactly
+ # what we need to confidently test connect timeout.
+
+ # However, we want to prevent false positives. It's not unreasonable
+ # to expect certain hosts may not be able to reach the blackhole, due
+ # to firewalling or general network configuration. In order to improve
+ # our confidence in testing the blackhole, a corresponding 'whitehole'
+ # has also been set up using one port higher:
+ whitehole = ('whitehole.snakebite.net', 56667)
+
+ # This address has been configured to immediately drop any incoming
+ # packets as well, but it does it respectfully with regards to the
+ # incoming protocol. RSTs are sent for TCP packets, and ICMP UNREACH
+ # is sent for UDP/ICMP packets. This means our attempts to connect to
+ # it should be met immediately with ECONNREFUSED. The test case has
+ # been structured around this premise: if we get an ECONNREFUSED from
+ # the whitehole, we proceed with testing connect timeout against the
+ # blackhole. If we don't, we skip the test (with a message about not
+ # getting the required RST from the whitehole within the required
+ # timeframe).
+
+ # For the records, the whitehole/blackhole configuration has been set
+ # up using the 'pf' firewall (available on BSDs), using the following:
+ #
+ # ext_if="bge0"
+ #
+ # blackhole_ip="35.8.247.6"
+ # whitehole_ip="35.8.247.6"
+ # blackhole_port="56666"
