Enum routing::Authority

pub enum Authority<N: Xorable + Clone + Copy + Binary + Default> {
    ClientManager(N),
    NaeManager(N),
    NodeManager(N),
    Section(N),
    PrefixSection(Prefix<N>),
    ManagedNode(N),
    Client {
        client_id: PublicId,
        proxy_node_name: N,
    },
}

An entity that can act as a source or destination of a message.

Client and ManagedNode are single-node authorities (i.e. no verification of messages from additional sources needed); other authorities require agreement by a quorum of some set. NodeManager, ClientManager and NaeManager use group verification of messages: they require quorum agreement from the group of nodes closest to the source, while Section and PrefixSection use section verification: the set from which a quorum is required is all members of the section (Section) or of all sections matching the prefix (PrefixSection).

Variants

ClientManager(N)

Manager of a Client. XorName is the hash of the Client's client_key.

NaeManager(N)

Manager of a network-addressable element, i.e. the group matching this name. XorName is the name of the element in question.

NodeManager(N)

Manager of a ManagedNode. XorName is that of the ManagedNode.

Section(N)

A set of nodes with names sharing a common prefix.

PrefixSection(Prefix<N>)

A set of nodes with names sharing a common prefix - may span multiple Sections present in the routing table or only a part of a Section

ManagedNode(N)

A non-client node (i.e. a vault) which is managed by NodeManagers. XorName is provided by the network relocation process immediately after bootstrapping.

Client

A Client.

Fields of Client

client_id: PublicId	The Public ID of the client.
proxy_node_name: N	The name of the single ManagedNode which the Client connects to and proxies all messages through.

Methods

impl<N: Xorable + Clone + Copy + Binary + Default> Authority<N>

fn is_multiple(&self) -> bool
