zerotier: removed
All vestiges of ZeroTier have been removed. Also, as consequence, some binary values have changed (specifically the number of the address family used for NNG_AF_ABSTRACT.) We may create a new ZeroTier transport that makes use of lwIP to provide for ZeroTier and native host network coexistence, without requiring ZeroTier to participate in the native networking stack.

-nng_sockaddr_zt - ZeroTier socket address
-
-== SYNOPSIS

-----
-#include <nng/nng.h>

-enum sockaddr_family {
- NNG_AF_ZT = 5,
-};
-
-typedef struct {

-----
-
-== DESCRIPTION
-
-(((socket, address, ZeroTier)))
-An `nng_sockaddr_zt` is the flavor of xref:nng_sockaddr.5.adoc[`nng_sockaddr`]
-used to represent ZeroTier addresses, including the
-(((port number, ZeroTier)))port number used by the
-xref:nng_zerotier.7.adoc[_zt_] transport.
-
-IMPORTANT: The ZeroTier transport, and the details of this structure,
-are still considered experimental, and subject to change.
-
-The following structure members are present:
-
-`sa_family`::
- This field will always have the value ((`NNG_AF_ZT`)).
-
-`sa_nwid`::
- (((network number, ZeroTier)))
- This field holds the ZeroTier network number (or ID).
- This value is in native byte order.
-
-`sa_nodeid`::
- This field holds the ZeroTier node ID.(((node ID, ZeroTier)))
- This value is in native byte order, and only the lower 40 bits
- are significant.
- (ZeroTier node numbers are 40 bits long.)
- A zero value here is used for a wild-card to indicate that the
- caller's own node number be used.
-
-`sa_port`::
- This field holds the port number used by the
- xref:nng_zerotier.7.adoc[_zt_] transport to distinguish different
- sockets.
- This value in native byte order.(((port number, ZeroTier)))
- A zero value here indicates that a port number should be chosen
- randomly from the ephemeral ports.
- Only the lower 24 bits of the port number are used.
-
-NOTE: ZeroTier port numbers are in *native* byte order, and are larger
-than TCP/IP port numbers.
-They are also not part of the ZeroTier protocol itself, but defined by
-the Scalability Protocols binding for them.

-== NAME
-
-nng_zerotier - ZeroTier transport
-
-== DESCRIPTION
-
-(((ZeroTier)))(((transport, _zt_)))
-The ((_zt_ transport)) provides communication support for
-_NNG_ applications over a http://www.zerotier.com[ZeroTier] network,
-using a Virtual Layer 2 packet facility.
-
-IMPORTANT: This transport is experimental.
-To utilize it at present, the library must be built with support, and linked
-against a suitable ((`libzerotiercore`)) library.
-Further information about building with this support are in the build
-documentation included with the distribution.
-
-IMPORTANT: The `libzerotiercore` library at present is covered under different
-license terms than the rest of _NNG_. Please be careful to review
-and adhere to the licensing terms.
-
-IMPORTANT: The ZeroTier transport can take a long time to establish an
-initial connection -- up to even a minute in extreme cases, while the network
-topology is configured. Consequently, this transport is not recommended
-for use cases involving short-lived programs, but is better for long-running
-programs such as background daemons or agents.
-
-While ZeroTier makes use of the host's IP stack (and UDP in particular),
-this transport does not use or require an IP stack on the virtual
-network; thereby mitigating any considerations about IP address management.
-
-This service uses Ethernet type 901 to transport packets. Network rules
-must permit this Ethernet type to pass in order to have a functional
-network.
-
-NOTE: This document assumes that the reader is familiar with ZeroTier
-concepts and administration.
-
-=== URI Format
-
-(((URI, `zt://`)))
-This transport uses URIs using the scheme `zt://`, followed by a node
-number (ten hexadecimal digits) followed by a `.` delimited, and then
-a network address (sixteen hexadecimal digits), followed by a colon (`:`)
-and service or port number(((port number, ZeroTier))) (decimal value,
-up to 24-bits).
-For example, the URI `zt://fedcba9876.0123456789abdef:999` indicates
-that node fedcba9876 on network 0123456789abcdef is listening on port 999.
-
-The special value `*` can be used in lieu of a node number to represent
-the node's own node number.
-
-Listeners may use port 0 to indicate that a suitable port
-number be selected automatically.
-Applications using this must determine the selected port number using the
-xref:nng_listener_get.3.adoc[`nng_listener_get_int()`] function.
-
-=== Socket Address
-
-When using an xref:nng_sockaddr.5.adoc[`nng_sockaddr`] structure,
-the actual structure is of type
-xref:nng_sockaddr_zt.5.adoc[`nng_sockaddr_zt`].
-
-=== Node Presence
-
-By default this transport creates an "ephemeral" node, and used the
-same ((ephemeral node)) for any additional endpoints created.
-As this node is ephemeral, the keys associated with it and all associated data
-are located in memory and are discarded upon application termination.
-If a ((persistent node)) is desired, please see the `NNG_OPT_ZT_HOME` option.
-
-It is possible for a single application to join multiple networks
-using the same node, or using separate nodes.
-
-=== Network Status
-(((status, zerotier network)))
-A ZeroTier node can be in one of the following states, which can be obtained
-with the `NNG_OPT_ZT_NETWORK_STATUS` option:
-
-[[NNG_ZT_STATUS_UP]]
-((`NNG_ZT_STATUS_UP`))::
-The ZeroTier network is up.
-This is the only state where it is possible to communicate with peers,
-and the only state where the network name (`NNG_OPT_ZT_NETWORK_NAME`)
-is available.
-
-((`NNG_ZT_STATUS_CONFIG`))::
-The ZeroTier node is still configuring, network services are not available.
-
-((`NNG_ZT_STATUS_DENIED`))::
-The node does not have permission to join the ZeroTier network.
-
-((`NNG_ZT_STATUS_NOTFOUND`))::
-The ZeroTier network is not found.
-
-((`NNG_ZT_STATUS_ERROR`))::
-Some other ZeroTier error has occurred; the network is not available.
-
-((`NNG_ZT_STATUS_OBSOLETE`))::
-The node is running obsolete software; the network is not available.
-
-((`NNG_ZT_STATUS_UNKNOWN`))::
-The network is in an unknown state. This should not happen, as it
-indicates that the ZeroTier software is reporting an unexpected status.
-The network is most likely not available.
-
-=== Transport Options
-
-The following transport options are available:
-
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_HOME`))::
- (string) This option represents the home directory, where the transport
- can store (and reuse) persistent state, such as key materials, node
- identity, and federation membership.
- This option must be set before the ZeroTier transport is first used.
- If this value is empty, then an ephemeral ZeroTier node is created,
- and no persistent state is used.
- The default is to use an ephemeral node.
-+
-NOTE: If this option is set to different values on different sockets,
-dialers, or listeners, then separate nodes will be created.
-It is perfectly valid for an application to have multiple node identities
-in this fashion.
-
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_NWID`))::
- (`uint64_t`) The 64-bit ZeroTier network number (native byte order).
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_NODE]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_NODE`))::
- (`uint64_t`) The ZeroTier 40-bit node address (native byte order).
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_NETWORK_STATUS]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_NETWORK_STATUS`))::
- (((status, zerotier network)))
- (`int`) The ZeroTier network status.
- See <<Network Status>> for an explanation of this option.
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_NETWORK_NAME]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_NETWORK_NAME`))::
- (((name, zerotier network)))
- (string) The name of the network
- as established by the ZeroTier network administrator.
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_CONN_TIME]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_CONN_TIME`))::
- (xref:nng_duration.5.adoc[`nng_duration`])
- The time to wait between sending connection attempts,
- only used with dialers.
- The default is 500 msec.
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_CONN_TRIES]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_CONN_TRIES`))::
- (`int`) The maximum number of attempts to try to establish a connection
- before reporting a timeout, and is only used with dialers.
- The default is 240, which results in a 2 minute timeout if
- `NNG_OPT_ZT_CONN_TIME` is at its default of 500.
- If the value is set to 0, then connection attempts will keep retrying forever.
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_PING_TIME]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_PING_TIME`))::
- (xref:nng_duration.5.adoc[`nng_duration`]) If no traffic has been received from
- the ZeroTier peer after this
- period of time, then a ping message is sent to check if the peer
- is still alive.
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_PING_TRIES]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_PING_TRIES`))::
- (`int`) If this number of consecutive ping requests are sent to the
- peer with no response (and no other intervening traffic), then the
- peer is assumed to be dead and the connection is closed.
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_MTU]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_MTU`))::
- (`size_t`) The ZeroTier virtual network MTU (read-only) as configured
- on the network; this is the Virtual Layer 2 MTU. The headers used by
- this transport and the protocols consume some of this for each message
- sent over the network. (The transport uses 20-bytes of this, and each
- protocol may consume additional space, typically not more than 16-bytes.)
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_ORBIT]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_ORBIT`))(((orbit, ZeroTier)))(((federation,ZeroTier)))::
- (`uint64_t[2]`) Write-only array of two `uint64_t` values,
- indicating the ID of a ZeroTier <em>moon</em>, and the node ID of the root server
- for that moon. (The ID may be zero if the moon ID is the same as its
- root server ID, which is conventional.)
-
-[[NNG_OPT_ZT_DEORBIT]]
-((`NNG_OPT_ZT_DEORBIT`))::
- (`uint64_t`) Write-only option indicating the moon ID to deorbit.
- If the node is not already orbiting the moon, then this has no effect.
