Max Lv 282f3606d7 Add --max-connections and --max-udp-sessions
The TCP connection pool and the UDP session table are sized from these
options (or max_connections / max_udp_sessions in the configuration
file) at startup instead of fixed constants; the DNS query pool follows
the connection limit. test_limits.py checks that a connection beyond
the limit is refused and that accepting resumes once one closes.

\brief a lightweight and secure socks5 proxy
\section overview_synopsis SYNOPSIS

*ss-tunnel* [options]
*ss-redir* [options]
*ss-manager* [options]
*ss-nat* [options]
\section overview_description DESCRIPTION
*shadowsocks-c* is a lightweight and secure socks5 proxy.
It is a port of the original shadowsocks created by clowwindy.
*shadowsocks-c* is written in pure C and takes advantage of *libuv*
to achieve both high performance and low resource consumption.
*shadowsocks-c* consists of five components. One is ss-server(1)
that runs on a remote server to provide secured tunnel service.
ss-local(1) and ss-redir(1) are clients on your local machines to proxy
traffic(TCP/UDP or both).
ss-tunnel(1) is a tool for local port forwarding.
While ss-local(1) works as a standard socks5 proxy, ss-redir(1) works
as a transparent proxy and requires netfilter's NAT module. For more
information, check out the `EXAMPLE` section.
ss-manager(1) is a controller for multi-user management and traffic
statistics, using UNIX domain socket to talk with ss-server(1).
Also, it provides a UNIX domain socket or IP based API for other software.
About the details of this API, please refer to the `PROTOCOL` section.

\section overview_example EXAMPLE
`ss-redir` requires netfilter's NAT function. Here is an example:
```
# Create new chain
iptables -t nat -N SHADOWSOCKS
iptables -t mangle -N SHADOWSOCKS
# Ignore your shadowsocks server's addresses
# It's very IMPORTANT, just be careful.
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 123.123.123.123 -j RETURN
# Ignore LANs and any other addresses you'd like to bypass the proxy
# See Wikipedia and RFC5735 for full list of reserved networks.
# See ashi009/bestroutetb for a highly optimized CHN route list.
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 0.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 10.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 169.254.0.0/16 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 172.16.0.0/12 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 192.168.0.0/16 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 224.0.0.0/4 -j RETURN
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 240.0.0.0/4 -j RETURN
# Anything else should be redirected to shadowsocks's local port
iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 12345
# Add any UDP rules
ip rule add fwmark 0x01/0x01 table 100
ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100
iptables -t mangle -A SHADOWSOCKS -p udp --dport 53 -j TPROXY --on-port 12345 --tproxy-mark 0x01/0x01
# Apply the rules
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -j SHADOWSOCKS
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j SHADOWSOCKS
# Start the shadowsocks-redir
ss-redir -u -c /etc/config/shadowsocks.json -f /var/run/shadowsocks.pid
```
\section overview_protocol PROTOCOL
**ss-manager(1) provides several APIs through UDP protocol**
**Send UDP commands in the following format to the manager-address provided to ss-manager(1):**
```text
command: [JSON data]
```
**To add a port:**
```text
add: {"server_port": 8001, "password":"7cd308cc059"}
```
**To remove a port:**
```text
remove: {"server_port": 8001}
```
**To receive a pong:**
```text
ping
```
**Then ss-manager(1) will send back the traffic statistics:**
```text
stat: {"8001":11370}
```
