Crate bttp

Expand description

This crate contains the implementation of the secure message transport bttp.

A bttp server is implemented by Receiver and a client by Transmitter.

Structs

BlockAddr
An address which identifies a block on the network. An instance of this struct can be used to get a socket address for the block this address refers to.
MsgReceived
A message tagged with the block path that it was sent from.
Receiver
Type which receives messages sent over the network sent by a Transmitter.
Replier
A type for sending a reply to a message. Replies are sent over their own streams, so no two messages can interfere with one another.
Transmitter
A type which can be used to transmit messages over the network to a crate::Receiver.

CallMsg
Trait for messages which can be transmitted using the call method.
DeserCallback
A trait for types which can be called to asynchronously handle deserialization. This trait is what enables zero-copy handling of messages which support borrowing data during deserialization.
MsgCallback
Trait for types which can be called to handle messages received over the network. The server loop in Receiver uses a type that implements this trait to react to messages it receives.
SendMsg
Trait for messages which can be transmitted using the send method. Types which implement this trait should specify () as their reply type.
