Rust implementation of dtn bundle protocol 7 draft https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dtn-bpbis-26
This library only handles encoding and decoding of bundles, not transmission or other processing of the data. A full daemon using this library can be found here: https://github.com/dtn7/dtn7-rs
**This code is (probably) not production ready!**
## Benchmarking
A simple benchmark is shipped with the library. It (de)serializes Bundles with a primary block, bundle age block and a payload block with the contents (`b"ABC"`). This benchmark can be used to compare the rust implementation to the golang, python or java implementations.

## bp7 helper tool
For debugging a small helper tool is shipped:
```
$ cargo install bp7
[...]
$ usage "bp7" <cmd> [args]
decode <hexstring>
dtntime [dtntimestamp] - prints current time as dtntimestamp or prints dtntime human readable
d2u [dtntimestamp] - converts dtntime to unixstimestamp
rnd - return a hexencoded random bundle
$ bp7 rnd

The generated hex string can also be directly discplayed as raw cbor on the awesome cbor.me website, e.g. http://cbor.me/?bytes=9f8907000182016b6e6f6465332f696e626f7882016b6e6f6465332f696e626f7882016b6e6f6465332f696e626f78821a247966ba001ad693a4004225b686010000014341424342237186080100010042dbccff
## wasm support
The library should build for wasm even though only very few functions get exported. The example benchmark can also be used in the browser through the `cargo-web` crate:
```
cargo web start --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --example benchmark --release
```
Results should be shown in the javascript console on http://127.0.0.1:8000.
The performance is quite similar to the native performance:
```
Creating 100000 bundles with CRC_NO: 441696 bundles/second
Creating 100000 bundles with CRC_16: 416484 bundles/second

Loading 100000 bundles with CRC_NO: 401727 bundles/second
Loading 100000 bundles with CRC_16: 388394 bundles/second
Loading 100000 bundles with CRC_32: 384186 bundles/second
```
Some functions can easily be used from javascript (`cargo web deploy --release`):
```javascript
Rust.bp7.then(function(bp7) {
var b = bp7.rnd_bundle_now();
var enc = bp7.encode_to_cbor(b);
var payload = bp7.payload_from_bundle(b)
console.log(payload);
console.log(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, payload));
console.log(bp7.cbor_is_administrative_record(enc));
console.log(bp7.sender_from_cbor(enc));
console.log(bp7.recipient_from_bundle(b));
console.log(bp7.valid_bundle(b));
});
```
Note that at the moment all functions have a variant working on the binary bundle and one working on the decoded bundle struct.
