L0 Transport Layer

Layer: L0 (Transport)
Purpose: Wire protocols, frame encoding, time primitives
RFCs: RFC-0000 (LWF), RFC-0105 (Time L0 component)

---

Overview

The L0 Transport layer provides low-level wire protocol implementations for the Libertaria network. It handles packet framing, serialization, and transport-layer timestamps.

Components

LWF (Libertaria Wire Frame) - lwf.zig

RFC: RFC-0000
Wire protocol implementation for fixed-size headers and variable payloads. Supports CRC32-C and Ed25519.

Time - time.zig

RFC: RFC-0105
Nanosecond precision transport-layer time primitives.

UTCP (Unreliable Transport Protocol) - utcp/socket.zig

RFC: RFC-0010
Fast-path UDP wrapper for LWF frames. Features rapid entropy validation (DoS defense) before deep parsing.

OPQ (Offline Packet Queue) - opq/

RFC: RFC-0020
High-resilience store-and-forward mechanism using a Segmented WAL (Write-Ahead Log) for 72-96 hour packet retention.

L0 Service - service.zig

The integrated engine that orchestrates Network -> UTCP -> OPQ -> Ingestion. Handles automated maintenance and persona-based policies.

Usage

const l0 = @import("l0_transport.zig");

// Create LWF frame
var frame = try l0.lwf.LWFFrame.init(allocator, 1024);
defer frame.deinit(allocator);

// Set header fields
frame.header.service_type = 0x0700; // Vector message
frame.header.timestamp = l0.time.nowNanoseconds();

// Encode for transport
const encoded = try frame.encode(allocator);
defer allocator.free(encoded);
