Latmon Network Service

Overview
11+
********
12+
13+
Provides the functionality required for network-based latency monitoring, including socket
14+
management, client-server communication, and data exchange with the Latmus service running
15+
on the System Under Test (SUT).
16+
17+
The Latmon network service is responsible for establishing and managing network
18+
communication between the Latmon application (running on a Zephyr-based board) and
19+
the Latmus service (running on the SUT).
20+
21+
It uses TCP sockets for reliable communication and UDP sockets for broadcasting
22+
the IP address of the Latmon device.

Features
30+
********
31+
32+
- **Socket Management**: Creates and manages TCP and UDP sockets for communication.
33+
- **Client-Server Communication**: Handles incoming connections from the Latmus service.
34+
- **Data Exchange**: Sends latency metrics and histogram data to the Latmus service.
35+
- **IP Address Broadcasting**: Broadcasts the IP address of the Latmon device to facilitate
36+
discovery by the Latmus service.
37+
- **Thread-Safe Design**: Uses Zephyr's kernel primitives (e.g., message queues and semaphores) for
38+
synchronization.
39+
40+
Workflow
41+
********
42+
43+
Socket Creation
44+
===============
45+
46+
The :c:func:`net_latmon_get_socket()` function is called to create and configure a TCP socket to
47+
communicate with the Latmus service. A connection address can be specified as a paramenter to
48+
bind the socket to a specific interface and port.
49+
50+
Connection Handling
51+
===================
52+
53+
The :c:func:`net_latmon_connect()` function waits for a connection from the Latmus service.
54+
If no connection is received within the timeout period, the service broadcasts its IP address
55+
using UDP and returns ``-EAGAIN``.
56+
If the broadcast request cannot be sent, the function returns ``-1``, and the client should quit.
57+
58+
Monitoring Start
59+
================
60+
61+
Once a connection is established, the :c:func:`net_latmon_start()` function is called to
62+
start the monitoring process. This function uses a callback to calculate latency deltas
63+
and sends the data to the Latmus service.
64+
65+
Monitoring Status
66+
=================
67+
68+
The :c:func:`net_latmon_running()` function can be used to check if the monitoring process is active.
69+
70+
Thread Management
71+
=================
72+
73+
The service uses Zephyr threads to handle incoming connections and manage the monitoring
74+
process.
75+
76+
Enabling the Latmon Service
77+
***************************
78+
79+
The following configuration option must be enabled in the :file:`prj.conf` file.
80+
81+
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_LATMON`
82+
83+
The following options may be configured to customize the Latmon service:
84+
85+
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_LATMON_PORT` - Port number for the Latmon service.
86+
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_LATMON_XFER_THREAD_STACK_SIZE`
87+
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_LATMON_XFER_THREAD_PRIORITY`
88+
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_LATMON_THREAD_STACK_SIZE`
89+
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_LATMON_THREAD_PRIORITY`
90+
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_LATMON_MONITOR_THREAD_STACK_SIZE`
91+
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_LATMON_MONITOR_THREAD_PRIORITY`
92+
