//! # koh-transport-iroh
//!
//! The iroh glue: endpoint setup, a persistent node identity, dial-by-endpoint-id, and a
//! thin [`IrohChannel`] over a `Connection` that the SSP driver uses to ship datagrams and
//! read the path RTT. Everything QUIC-shaped (encryption, key exchange, NAT traversal,
//! relay fallback, roaming/migration, RTT measurement) is iroh's job; this crate just
//! exposes the few primitives the protocol above it needs.
//!
//! ## Datagrams, not streams
//!
//! The steady SSP flow rides QUIC **unreliable datagrams** ([`IrohChannel::send`] /
//! [`IrohChannel::recv`]). Oversized instructions are handled upstream by the
//! [`koh_wire`] fragmenter (each fragment fits [`IrohChannel::max_datagram_size`]), so we
//! never put the steady flow on a reliable stream — that would reintroduce the
//! head-of-line blocking mosh exists to avoid.
