test-link now also plays an attacker: packets changed on the way,
packets of the past sent again from the sender's address and its own,
keys and sources not allowed, and a flood of made-up packets. It found:
- A nonce used twice: a receiver sealed every answer in its one run, and
a sender at rest coming back with the same run got a new slot whose
answers began at number 0 again under the same key. Each slot now
draws the run its answers are sealed in.
- A link stopped for good by one packet of the past: a stream that did
not know its last heard (after a restart or a rest) handed over from
its first record held, and a stale part of an old one never came
whole. It hands over from its first whole record.
- Answers taken away: any packet that opened, however old, moved where
answers went. Only the newest of its run moves it now; a new address
is sent a challenge the sender says back (CHALLENGE, RESPONSE), and
until then gets at most three times the bytes that came from it.
- An answer made by a packet that did not open: a number heard before
was acknowledged before the packet was opened. It is opened first.
- An old answer lowering the sender's credit, or its gap making it send
again: the sender now sends up to the most heard and credit it was
told, and takes a gap only from a word not older than it knows.
- Ten thousand made-up packets made ten thousand keys: keys made for a
run that did not open now cost a token, 256 a second.
Counts now say runs keyed and secrets made.

A link starts at 1,200 bytes; once an RTT is known it sends a PING padded
to 1,452 (DPLPMTUD, RFC 8899), alone and with the don't-fragment bit,
and uses that size once it is acknowledged. A probe lost is no
congestion; it is tried again a second on, three times, then ten minutes
on. GSO is asked for each burst (a control message), not the socket, so
a packet sent alone is never cut. CUBIC counts in the datagram.
On loopback packets fall by 19-27%; the CPU a record falls 13% at 1 KiB
and 7% at 16 KiB; in the simulator of a 50 Mbit/s path with 1% loss the
goodput rises from 6.1 to 7.0 Mbit/s (5%: 2.3 to 3.0).

link/link-protocol.h is the protocol with no socket, thread or clock of
its own: packets and time in, packets out. link/link.h carries it over
UDP as before. A sender starts small (8 flights, 16 records, a 4 KiB
ring) so one thread can hold many. The transport's CPU a record is the
same within 2% (five rounds each way, 61 B to 16 KiB).
test-link runs both sides through a network of its own: loss, packets
held back and doubled, failed saves, an idle sweep, and both sides
starting again, every record applied once as sent.
