/*
The config package contains structures related to the configuration of an
Yggdrasil node.
The configuration contains, amongst other things, encryption keys which are used
to derive a node's identity, information about peerings and node information
that is shared with the network. There are also some module-specific options
related to TUN/TAP, multicast and the admin socket.
In order for a node to maintain the same identity across restarts, you should
persist the configuration onto the filesystem or into some configuration storage
so that the encryption keys (and therefore the node ID) do not change.
Note that Yggdrasil will automatically populate sane defaults for any
configuration option that is not provided.

Package yggdrasil implements the core functionality of the Yggdrasil Network.
Introduction
Yggdrasil is a proof-of-concept mesh network which provides end-to-end encrypted
communication between nodes in a decentralised fashion. The network is arranged
using a globally-agreed spanning tree which provides each node with a locator
(coordinates relative to the root) and a distributed hash table (DHT) mechanism
for finding other nodes.
Each node also implements a router, which is responsible for encryption of
traffic, searches and connections, and a switch, which is responsible ultimately
for forwarding traffic across the network.
While many Yggdrasil nodes in existence today are IP nodes - that is, they are
transporting IPv6 packets, like a kind of mesh VPN - it is also possible to
integrate Yggdrasil into your own applications and use it as a generic data
transport, similar to UDP.
This library is what you need to integrate and use Yggdrasil in your own
application.
Basics
In order to start an Yggdrasil node, you should start by generating node
configuration, which amongst other things, includes encryption keypairs which
are used to generate the node's identity, and supply a logger which Yggdrasil's
output will be written to.
This may look something like this:
import (
"os"
"github.com/gologme/log"
"github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go/src/config"
"github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go/src/yggdrasil"
)
type node struct {
core yggdrasil.Core
config *config.NodeConfig
log *log.Logger
}
You then can supply node configuration and a logger:
n := node{}
n.log = log.New(os.Stdout, "", log.Flags())
n.config = config.GenerateConfig()
In the above example, we ask the config package to supply new configuration each
time, which results in fresh encryption keys and therefore a new identity. It is
normally preferable in most cases to persist node configuration onto the
filesystem or into some configuration store so that the node's identity does not
change each time that the program starts. Note that Yggdrasil will automatically
fill in any missing configuration items with sane defaults.
Once you have supplied a logger and some node configuration, you can then start
the node:
n.core.Start(n.config, n.log)
Add some peers to connect to the network:
n.core.AddPeer("tcp://some-host.net:54321", "")
n.core.AddPeer("tcp://[2001::1:2:3]:54321", "")
n.core.AddPeer("tcp://1.2.3.4:54321", "")
You can also ask the API for information about our node:
n.log.Println("My node ID is", n.core.NodeID())
n.log.Println("My public key is", n.core.EncryptionPublicKey())
n.log.Println("My coords are", n.core.Coords())
Incoming Connections
Once your node is started, you can then listen for connections from other nodes
by asking the API for a Listener:
listener, err := n.core.ConnListen()
if err != nil {
// ...
}
The Listener has a blocking Accept function which will wait for incoming
connections from remote nodes. It will return a Conn when a connection is
received. If the node never receives any incoming connections then this function
can block forever, so be prepared for that, perhaps by listening in a separate
goroutine.
Assuming that you have defined a myConnectionHandler function to deal with
incoming connections:
for {
conn, err := listener.Accept()
if err != nil {
// ...
}
// We've got a new connection
go myConnectionHandler(conn)
}
Outgoing Connections
If you know the node ID of the remote node that you want to talk to, you can
dial an outbound connection to it. To do this, you should first ask the API for
a Dialer:
dialer, err := n.core.ConnDialer()
if err != nil {
// ...
}
You can then dial using the 16-byte node ID in hexadecimal format, for example:
conn, err := dialer.Dial("nodeid", "24a58cfce691ec016b0f698f7be1bee983cea263781017e99ad3ef62b4ef710a45d6c1a072c5ce46131bd574b78818c9957042cafeeed13966f349e94eb771bf")
if err != nil {
// ...
}
Using Connections
Conn objects are implementations of io.ReadWriteCloser, and as such, you can
Read, Write and Close them as necessary.
Each Read or Write operation can deal with a buffer with a maximum size of 65535
bytes - any bigger than this and the operation will return an error.
For example, to write to the Conn from the supplied buffer:
buf := []byte{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
w, err := conn.Write(buf)
if err != nil {
// ...
} else {
// written w bytes
}
Reading from the Conn into the supplied buffer:
buf := make([]byte, 65535)
r, err := conn.Read(buf)
if err != nil {
// ...
} else {
// read r bytes
}
When you are happy that a connection is no longer required, you can discard it:
err := conn.Close()
if err != nil {
// ...
}
Limitations
You should be aware of the following limitations when working with the Yggdrasil
library:
Individual messages written through Yggdrasil connections can not exceed 65535
bytes in size. Yggdrasil has no concept of fragmentation, so if you try to send
a message that exceeds 65535 bytes in size, it will be dropped altogether and
an error will be returned.
Yggdrasil connections are unreliable by nature. Messages are delivered on a
best-effort basis, and employs congestion control where appropriate to ensure
that congestion does not affect message transport, but Yggdrasil will not
retransmit any messages that have been lost. If reliable delivery is important
then you should manually implement acknowledgement and retransmission of
messages.
