irtt-server 0.5.0

//! Receiving a request's local destination and replying from it.
//!
//! A reply must leave from the exact address and port the request was addressed
//! to, because clients read from connected UDP sockets and discard anything
//! arriving from another endpoint. A listener bound to an explicit address
//! satisfies that for free: every datagram it sends carries the address it is
//! bound to, so ordinary `recv_from`/`send_to` is all it needs.
//!
//! A wildcard listener does not. On a multi-homed host the routing table
//! chooses the source address, so a request to one of the host's addresses can
//! be answered from another, and the client drops the reply. Such a listener
//! therefore asks the kernel for each request's destination address as
//! ancillary data and hands it back as the source of that request's reply.
//!
//! Which mechanism carries that is per-platform, and only [`SUPPORTED`] targets
//! have one reachable through a safe API. Everything here goes through `nix`'s
//! safe `recvmsg`/`sendmsg` wrappers; the crate forbids unsafe code, so there is
//! no raw syscall, no `CMSG_*` walking and no hand-written ABI layer.
//!
//! # Kernel receive timestamps
//!
//! A Linux listener additionally asks the kernel for a software receive
//! timestamp (`SO_TIMESTAMPNS`) on every datagram, wildcard or not, and reports
//! it on [`ReceivedDatagram::kernel_rx_timestamp`]. It says when the kernel
//! received the datagram, before the socket queue, Tokio readiness and
//! scheduling that separate that moment from the one the server would otherwise
//! observe.
//!
//! It is the exact opposite of destination metadata in how much it matters.
//! Enabling it is best-effort and never keeps a listener from starting; a
//! datagram that arrives without one, or with one describing no representable
//! instant, is served normally with no timestamp. Nothing about which datagrams
//! reach [`ServerCore`](crate::ServerCore) depends on it.
//!
//! **Nothing consumes it yet.** It is captured here so a follow-up change can
//! decide how a kernel-observed arrival time enters the protocol core; today
//! the core still samples its own receive instant and no protocol timing is
//! affected. It is a software wall-clock reading only — not a NIC hardware
//! timestamp, not monotonic, and not a transmit timestamp.
