peashape 0.3.0

A traffic-shaping middleware for pea2pea nodes: constant-rate or Poisson outbound traffic, automatic frame padding, and priority lanes for cover traffic.
Documentation
//! Length-delimited framing with a fixed payload size.
//!
//! Every frame on the wire is a 4-byte big-endian length prefix
//! followed by exactly `frame_size` bytes of payload. The codec
//! rejects any frame whose payload size doesn't match — that is
//! what enforces the constant-size property at the framing level.

/// A `pea2pea` codec that constrains every frame on the wire to
/// a single, fixed payload size, regardless of the actual payload
/// contents.
///
/// # Wire format

/// ```text
/// +--------+------------+
/// | length |  payload   |
/// | (4 B)  | (frame_size)|
/// +--------+------------+
/// ```
///
/// - `length`: a 4-byte big-endian unsigned integer. Always equal
///   to `frame_size` for a well-formed frame; any other value
///   causes the connection to be torn down by the decoder.
/// - `payload`: exactly `frame_size` bytes of frame data. The
///   application is free to lay them out however it likes — random
///   padding, structured records, or anything in between — because
///   an observer cannot tell "what" is being sent, only "when",
///   "to whom", and "how big" (and the last is constant).
