From add8fff098107bfed3a2e7c2187b1fabd9e65373 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Grozev Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 15:09:03 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add Agent.restartIce(): in-place ICE restart on an existing Agent Allows a running Agent to re-run connectivity checks against new remote credentials (and candidates) without creating a new Agent. Local credentials, local candidates and sockets are unchanged. The currently selected pair is kept in use for sending until a new pair is nominated (make-before-break): the check list and valid list are reset and re-run, but the selected pair is only replaced once a new nomination is confirmed for the restarting component. This requires relaxing two set-once guards that normally assume nomination happens only once per component: - CheckList.handleNominationConfirmed() now swaps the selected pair instead of no-oping when the component is restarting. - ConnectivityCheckClient.processSuccessResponse() now also confirms a nomination while a selected pair already exists, if the component is restarting (otherwise it treats the successful check as a keepalive and never calls nominationConfirmed()). Also un-stops the connectivity check client and cancels a pending or already-fired termination, since a steady-state Agent has its check client stopped a few seconds after completion. --- src/main/java/org/ice4j/ice/Agent.java | 69 ++++++ src/main/java/org/ice4j/ice/CheckList.java | 41 +++- src/main/java/org/ice4j/ice/Component.java | 31 +++ .../ice4j/ice/ConnectivityCheckClient.java | 20 +- .../java/org/ice4j/ice/IceMediaStream.java | 30 +++ .../java/org/ice4j/ice/IceRestartTest.java | 207 ++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 392 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/test/java/org/ice4j/ice/IceRestartTest.java diff --git a/src/main/java/org/ice4j/ice/Agent.java b/src/main/java/org/ice4j/ice/Agent.java index b8e20915..ae1c0371 100644 --- a/src/main/java/org/ice4j/ice/Agent.java +++ b/src/main/java/org/ice4j/ice/Agent.java @@ -759,6 +759,75 @@ public void startConnectivityEstablishment() } } + /** + * Performs an in-place ICE restart on this already-established agent: re-runs + * connectivity checks against (possibly new) remote credentials/candidates + * while keeping the same local credentials and, crucially, keeping the + * currently selected pair in use for sending media until a new pair is + * nominated (make-before-break). + *
