Requests the router to resolve a human-readable name (like example.i2p ) to a cryptographic Destination.
Notifies the client that a new message has been received from the network. i2p-cp
: The client requests the current network time from the router via GetDate and SetDate messages. Requests the router to resolve a human-readable name
I2CP operates as a message-based protocol, facilitating communication between two primary components: the (the application) and the Router (the I2P node). This has enabled the integration of I2P into
To establish a connection through the network, a client follows a specific handshake and setup sequence via I2CP:
I2CP is essential for the I2P ecosystem because it provides a consistent API for various programming languages. While the primary I2P router is written in Java, I2CP allows clients written in C++, Python, or Go to interface with it seamlessly. This has enabled the integration of I2P into diverse projects, such as the Monero cryptocurrency for transaction privacy.
