Struct ForwarderEngine 

pub struct ForwarderEngine { /* private fields */ }

Re-export the engine builder for convenience. Handle to a running forwarding engine.

Cloning the handle gives another reference to the same running engine.

Implementations

impl ForwarderEngine

pub fn fib(&self) -> Arc<Fib>

pub fn rib(&self) -> Arc<Rib>

pub fn routing(&self) -> Arc<RoutingManager>

pub fn faces(&self) -> Arc<FaceTable>

pub fn pit(&self) -> Arc<Pit>

pub fn cs(&self) -> Arc<dyn ErasedContentStore>

pub fn security(&self) -> Option<Arc<SecurityManager>>

pub fn validator(&self) -> Option<Arc<Validator>>

The active validator, if any.

The returned Arc<Validator> is the same instance used by the pipeline. Its trust schema can be modified at runtime via Validator::add_schema_rule, Validator::remove_schema_rule, and Validator::set_schema.

pub fn strategy_table(&self) -> Arc<StrategyTable<dyn ErasedStrategy>>

pub fn neighbors(&self) -> Arc<NeighborTable>

pub fn measurements(&self) -> Arc<MeasurementsTable>

pub fn discovery(&self) -> Arc<dyn DiscoveryProtocol>

pub fn discovery_ctx(&self) -> Arc<EngineDiscoveryContext>

The discovery context for this engine.

Panics if called before build() completes (OnceLock not yet set).

pub fn source_face_id(&self, interest: &Interest) -> Option<FaceId>

Look up the source face that originally sent an Interest.

pub fn add_face<F>(&self, face: F, cancel: CancellationToken)

where F: Face + 'static,

Register a face and immediately start its packet-reader task.

Persistence defaults to OnDemand. Use add_face_with_persistency for management-created or permanent faces.

pub fn add_face_with_persistency<F>( &self, face: F, cancel: CancellationToken, persistency: FacePersistency, )

where F: Face + 'static,

Register a face with an explicit persistence level.

Spawns both a recv-reader task (pushes inbound packets to the pipeline channel) and a send-writer task (drains the per-face outbound queue and calls face.send()).

pub fn add_face_send_only<F>(&self, face: F, cancel: CancellationToken)

where F: Face + 'static,

Register a send-only face (no recv loop spawned).

Use this for faces created by a listener that handles inbound packets itself via inject_packet. The face is added to the face table so the dispatcher can send Data/Nack to it, but no run_face_reader task is spawned. A send-writer task is spawned to drain the outbound queue.

pub async fn inject_packet( &self, raw: Bytes, face_id: FaceId, arrival: u64, meta: InboundMeta, ) -> Result<(), ()>

Inject a raw packet into the pipeline as if it arrived from face_id.

Processes the reliability layer (Ack extraction / piggybacked Ack processing) before enqueuing, matching the same path as run_face_reader. meta carries the link-layer source address when available (use InboundMeta::udp(src) for UDP listeners, InboundMeta::none() when the source is implicit in the face).

discovery.on_inbound() is called later inside process_packet, after LP-unwrap and fragment reassembly, at the single call site in the pipeline.

Returns Err(()) if the pipeline channel is closed.

pub fn face_token(&self, face_id: FaceId) -> Option<CancellationToken>

Get the cancellation token for a face, if one exists.

pub fn face_states(&self) -> Arc<DashMap<FaceId, FaceState>>

Access the face states map (for idle timeout sweeps).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ForwarderEngine

fn clone(&self) -> ForwarderEngine

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
