NIO-Based TCP (Non-blocking I/O based TCP): one of two Kovri transports |
{% include untranslated.html %}
The Basics
NIO-Based TCP (Non-blocking I/O based TCP) is one of two encrypted @transports for @Kovri.
Similar to @SSU, @NTCP's primary purpose is to securely transmit @in-net @I2NP messages through @tunnels but, unlike @SSU, @NTCP functions solely over encrypted TCP.
In-depth information
- Passes along individual @I2NP messages (both Standard and Time Sync) after:
- TCP has been established
- Establishment Sequence has been completed
- Uses the following @encryption:
- 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman
- AES-256/CBC
- Establishment Sequence has the following states:
- Pre-establishment
- Establishment
- Post-establishment or "Established"
- Uses the following from the @network-database:
- Transport name: NTCP
- Host: IP (IPv4 or IPv6) or host name (shortened IPv6 address (with "::") is allowed)
- Port: 1024 - 65535
