Enum rust_ipv8::payloads::connectiontype::ConnectionType

pub enum ConnectionType {
    PUBLIC,
    SYMMETRICNAT,
    UNKNOWN,
}

Sent as a member of a number of payloads like the IntroductionRequestPayload, in their flags fields.

NOTE: with IPv6 support, another connection type might be added to signify this.

Variants

PUBLIC

A Public connnection meaning: Easily reachable and no NAT Puncturing needed.

SYMMETRICNAT

The ConnectionType specifiying both parties being behind a NAT used to indicate NAT puncturing is required.

UNKNOWN

Fallback if connectiontype could not be determined or is not known.

Methods

impl ConnectionType

pub fn encode(&self) -> (bool, bool)

encodes a connection type into 2 booleans. Combinations are chosen semi-arbitrarily but are standardized. Booleans are used to go into a BITS field in a packet.

pub fn decode(bits: (bool, bool)) -> Self

Decodes two booleans into the corresponding connection type as encoded with the above encode method.

Trait Implementations

impl PartialEq<ConnectionType> for ConnectionType

fn eq(&self, other: &ConnectionType) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

#[must_use] fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=.

impl Debug for ConnectionType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
