A in-net address that serves as a final endpoint (either local or remote) |
{% include disclaimer.html translated="no" translationOutdated="no" %}
The Basics
A @destination is the @I2P @in-net address of the final endpoint you are trying to connect to (example: an @I2P website, service, or Monero node). This can also include a local destination of which other peers need to connect to in order to make contact for communication (similar to how, in @clearnet, your IP address is given to a website when you connect so it knows where to send the information back to).
In-depth Information
An @I2P destination can be encoded into a @base32-address or @base64-address. Most users will only care about @base32-addresses or a .i2p hostname while, internally, @Kovri / @I2P @address-book uses @base64-addresses. Ultimately, all @destinations in @I2P are 516-byte (or longer) keys:
256-byte public key + 128-byte signing key + a null certificate = 516 bytes in Base64 representation
Note: certificates are not used now but, if they were, the keys would be longer.
