ChugR opened a new pull request #698: DISPATCH-975: Enforce max message size on 
message ingress
URL: https://github.com/apache/qpid-dispatch/pull/698
 
 
   This commit has an updated implementation for final review.
   
   MaxMessageSize may be specified globally, per vhost, or per vhost user
   group. The global setting applies to all vhosts for which maxMessageSize
   is unspecified. The vhost setting applies to all vhost user groups for
   which maxMessageSize is unspecified. The vhost user group setting
   overrides all other settings. A maxMessageSize setting of zero disables
   maxMessageSize enforcement.
   
   Links over which maxMessageSize is being enforced will advertise the
   size in the _max-message-size_ field of the Attach
   frame. Qpid-dispatch ignores the _max-message-size_ field received in
   incoming Attach frames.
   
   Message size for maxMessageSize purposes is calculated to be the
   number of AMQP octets in the Annotated Message. This includes the
   header, delivery-annotations, message-annotations, properties,
   application-properties, application-data, and footer
   sections. Administrators and users must be aware that a "message"
   consisting a single character string (the application-data) will be
   much larger over the wire after properties and annotations have been
   inserted.
   
   Max message size is enforced on message/transfer ingress only. Once a
   message has entered the router network it is free to go to any
   destination.
   
   When a message exceeds max size then:
   
    * Disposition of _rejected_ is returned to the sender for that delivery.
    * Copies of the message being delivered through the router network are 
aborted.
    * Previous versions of this patch closed the sender's ingress link
      with an error. This ensured that a sender would know that the
      message did not get through and would clearly know why. However,
      spontaneous link closures cause a wide variety of serious problems
      for many clients. Link closure should not be enforced until, at a
      minimum, qpid-proton clients handle the closure cleanly.
   
   Self test includes a four-router linear network with two interior and two
   edge routers. Tests try oversize messages with a variety of sender and
   receiver attachment points in that network.
