Add enhanced configuration templates for adaptive I/O features
- Introduced a comprehensive configuration template (config-adaptive.toml) for adaptive I/O, enabling improved upload/download dual stack with various performance optimizations, security settings, and network resilience features. - Created a test configuration template (test-config.toml) mirroring the adaptive configuration for testing purposes. - Added a simple test configuration (test-simple-config.toml) for basic adaptive features testing with essential parameters. - Included an empty Jupyter notebook (xep0363_analysis.ipynb) for future analysis related to XEP-0363.

# HMAC File Server Upload/Download Dual Stack Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
The HMAC file server's upload/download dual stack has been comprehensively analyzed and enhanced with adaptive I/O capabilities. The improvements address performance bottlenecks, network resilience, and resource efficiency while maintaining full backward compatibility.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Architecture Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Existing Components
|
||||
1. **Multiple Upload Handlers**
|
||||
- Standard POST uploads (`handleUpload`)
|
||||
- Legacy PUT uploads (`handleLegacyUpload`)
|
||||
- Chunked/resumable uploads (`handleChunkedUpload`)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Download System**
|
||||
- Simple streaming download handler
|
||||
- Basic buffer pooling (32KB fixed size)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Network Resilience**
|
||||
- Enhanced network change detection
|
||||
- Upload pause/resume capabilities
|
||||
- Quality monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Session Management**
|
||||
- Chunked upload sessions with persistence
|
||||
- Deduplication support
|
||||
- Progress tracking
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Issues Identified
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Buffer Management Limitations
|
||||
- **Fixed 32KB buffer size** - suboptimal for modern high-bandwidth connections
|
||||
- **No adaptation** to network conditions or file sizes
|
||||
- **Memory inefficiency** - over-allocation for small transfers, under-allocation for large ones
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Inconsistent I/O Patterns
|
||||
- **Different copying strategies** across handlers (io.Copy vs io.CopyBuffer)
|
||||
- **Code duplication** in buffer management
|
||||
- **Varying performance characteristics** between upload types
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Limited Network Adaptation
|
||||
- **Static chunk sizes** regardless of network speed
|
||||
- **No client-specific optimization**
|
||||
- **Poor performance** on varying network conditions
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Missing Progressive Enhancement
|
||||
- **No HTTP Range support** for downloads
|
||||
- **Limited resumability** options
|
||||
- **No bandwidth estimation** or quality adaptation
|
||||
|
||||
## Proposed Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Adaptive Buffer Pool System
|
||||
|
||||
**New Implementation:**

|
||||
metrics *NetworkMetrics
|
||||
currentOptimalSize int
|
||||
}

||||
OptimalBufferSize int
|
||||
ReliabilityScore float64
