<entries>
<entry name="None" value="0">Dummy value used to indicate an error condition in the API.⤶
Specified connection doesn't exist or has already been closed.</entry>⤶
<entry name="Connecting" value="1">We are trying to establish whether peers can talk to each other,⤶
whether they WANT to talk to each other, perform basic auth,⤶
and exchange crypt keys.⤶
⤶
- For connections on the "client" side (initiated locally):⤶
We're in the process of trying to establish a connection.⤶
Depending on the connection type, we might not know who they are.⤶
Note that it is not possible to tell if we are waiting on the⤶
network to complete handshake packets, or for the application layer⤶
to accept the connection.⤶
⤶
- For connections on the "server" side (accepted through listen socket):⤶
We have completed some basic handshake and the client has presented⤶
some proof of identity. The connection is ready to be accepted⤶
using AcceptConnection().⤶
⤶
In either case, any unreliable packets sent now are almost certain⤶
to be dropped. Attempts to receive packets are guaranteed to fail.⤶
You may send messages if the send mode allows for them to be queued.⤶
but if you close the connection before the connection is actually⤶
established, any queued messages will be discarded immediately.⤶
(We will not attempt to flush the queue and confirm delivery to the⤶
remote host, which ordinarily happens when a connection is closed.)</entry>⤶
<entry name="FindingRoute" value="2">Some connection types use a back channel or trusted 3rd party⤶
for earliest communication. If the server accepts the connection,⤶
then these connections switch into the rendezvous state. During this⤶
state, we still have not yet established an end-to-end route (through⤶
the relay network), and so if you send any messages unreliable, they⤶
are going to be discarded.</entry>⤶
<entry name="Connected" value="3">We've received communications from our peer (and we know⤶
who they are) and are all good. If you close the connection now,⤶
we will make our best effort to flush out any reliable sent data that⤶
has not been acknowledged by the peer. (But note that this happens⤶
from within the application process, so unlike a TCP connection, you are⤶
not totally handing it off to the operating system to deal with it.)</entry>⤶
<entry name="ClosedByPeer" value="4">Connection has been closed by our peer, but not closed locally.⤶
The connection still exists from an API perspective. You must close the⤶
handle to free up resources. If there are any messages in the inbound queue,⤶
you may retrieve them. Otherwise, nothing may be done with the connection⤶
except to close it.⤶
⤶
This stats is similar to CLOSE_WAIT in the TCP state machine.</entry>⤶
