Overview

Package address contains the types used by mesh to represent IPv6 addresses or prefixes, as well as functions for working with these types. Of particular importance are the functions used to derive addresses or subnets from a NodeID, or to get the NodeID and bitmask of the bits visible from an address, which is needed for DHT searches.

Functions

func GetPrefix

func GetPrefix() [1]byte

GetPrefix returns the address prefix used by mesh. The current implementation requires this to be a multiple of 8 bits + 7 bits. The 8th bit of the last byte is used to signal nodes (0) or /64 prefixes (1). Nodes that configure this differently will be unable to communicate with each other using IP packets, though routing and the DHT machinery *should* still work.

Types

type Address

type Address [16]byte

Address represents an IPv6 address in the mesh address range.

func AddrForKey

func AddrForKey(publicKey ed25519.PublicKey) *Address

AddrForKey takes an ed25519.PublicKey as an argument and returns an *Address. This function returns nil if the key length is not ed25519.PublicKeySize. This address begins with the contents of GetPrefix(), with the last bit set to 0 to indicate an address. The following 8 bits are set to the number of leading 1 bits in the bitwise inverse of the public key. The bitwise inverse of the key, excluding the leading 1 bits and the first leading 0 bit, is truncated to the appropriate length and makes up the remainder of the address.

func (*Address) GetKey

func (a *Address) GetKey() ed25519.PublicKey

GetKet returns the partial ed25519.PublicKey for the Address. This is used for key lookup.

func (*Address) IsValid

func (a *Address) IsValid() bool

IsValid returns true if an address falls within the range used by nodes in the network.

type Subnet

type Subnet [8]byte

Subnet represents an IPv6 /64 subnet in the mesh subnet range.

func SubnetForKey

func SubnetForKey(publicKey ed25519.PublicKey) *Subnet

SubnetForKey takes an ed25519.PublicKey as an argument and returns a *Subnet. This function returns nil if the key length is not ed25519.PublicKeySize. The subnet begins with the address prefix, with the last bit set to 1 to indicate a prefix. The following 8 bits are set to the number of leading 1 bits in the bitwise inverse of the key. The bitwise inverse of the key, excluding the leading 1 bits and the first leading 0 bit, is truncated to the appropriate length and makes up the remainder of the subnet.

func (*Subnet) GetKey

func (s *Subnet) GetKey() ed25519.PublicKey

GetKet returns the partial ed25519.PublicKey for the Subnet. This is used for key lookup.

func (*Subnet) IsValid

func (s *Subnet) IsValid() bool

IsValid returns true if a prefix falls within the range usable by the network.
