Module strict_encoding::net [−][src]
Expand description
Network addresses uniform encoding (LNPBP-42).
Implementation of network address uniform encoding standard (LMPBP-42), which allows representation of any kind of network address as a fixed-size byte string occupying 37 bytes. This standard is used for the strict encoding of networking addresses.
Currently supported networking address protocols (see AddrFormat):
- IPv4 and IPv6
- Tor, both ONION v2 and v3 addresses
- Lightning peer network addresses (Secp256k1 public keys) This list may be extended with future LNPBP-42 revisions
Currently supported transport protocols (see Transport):
- TCP
- UDP
- MTCP (multi-path TCP)
- QUIC (more efficient UDP version) This list may be extended with future LNPBP-42 revisions
Structs
| UniformAddr | Structured uniform address representation, consisting of host address, (conforming a given address format) optional port and optional transport protocol |
Enums
| AddrFormat | Format of the host address |
| DecodeError | Uniform ecoding error types |
| Transport | Supported transport protocols |
Constants
| ADDR_LEN | Standard length of the host-specific part of the encoding, in bytes |
| UNIFORM_LEN | Standard length for the whole uniformly-encoded address data, including host and protocol parts. |
Traits
| Uniform | Uniform encoding trait, which should be implemented by different address
structures which allow representation as |
Type Definitions
| RawAddr | Type representing host-specific address part |
| RawUniformAddr | Type representing whole uniformly-encoded address, with all host and protocol-specific parts put together |
