Introduction

Thoughts

  • Add a new transport "IND" (indirect) which publishes a leaseSet hash in the RouterAddress structure: "IND: [key=aababababababababb]". This transport bids the lowest priority when the target router publishes it. To send to a peer via this transport, fetch the leaseset from a ff peer as usual, and send it directly to the lease.
  • A peer advertising IND must build and maintain a set of tunnels to another peer. These are not exploratory tunnels and not client tunnels, but a second set of router tunnels.
    • 1-hop is sufficient?
    • How to select peers for these tunnels?
    • They need to be "non-restricted" but how do you know that? Reachability mapping? Graph theory, algorithms, data structures may help here. Need to read up on this. See tunnels TODO.
  • If you have IND tunnels then your IND transport must bid (low-priority) to send messages out these tunnels.
  • How to decide to enable building indirect tunnels
  • How to implement and test without blowing cover
