Overview

Basic idea: Send one copy through your outbound tunnel, outbound endpoint distributes to all the inbound gateways. End-end encryption precluded.

Design

  • New multicast tunnel message type (delivery type = 0x03)
  • Outbound endpoint multicast distribute
  • New I2NP Multicast Message type ?
  • New I2CP Multicast SendMessageMessage Message type
  • Don’t encrypt router-router in OutNetMessageOneShotJob (garlic?)

App:

  • RTSP Proxy?

Streamr:

  • Tune MTU? Or just do it at the app?
  • On-demand receive & transmit
