Struct tor_cell::relaycell::msg::Sendme

pub struct Sendme { /* private fields */ }

A Sendme message is used to increase flow-control windows.

To avoid congestion, each Tor circuit and stream keeps track of a number of data cells that it is willing to send. It decrements these numbers every time it sends a cell. If these numbers reach zero, then no more cells can be sent on the stream or circuit.

The only way to re-increment these numbers is by receiving a Sendme cell from the other end of the circuit or stream.

For security, current circuit-level Sendme cells include an authentication tag that proves knowledge of the cells that they are acking.

See tor-spec.txt for more information; also see the source for tor_proto::circuit::sendme.

Implementations

impl Sendme

pub fn new_empty() -> Self

Return a new empty sendme cell

This format is used on streams, and on circuits without sendme authentication.

pub fn new_tag(x: [u8; 20]) -> Self

This format is used on circuits with sendme authentication.

pub fn into_tag(self) -> Option<Vec<u8>>

Consume this cell and return its authentication tag, if any
