 * @brief main for gnunet-service-tng
 * @author Christian Grothoff
 *
 * TODO:
 * - figure out how to transmit (selective) ACKs in case of uni-directional
 *   communicators (with/without core? DV-only?) When do we use ACKs?
 *   => communicators use selective ACKs for flow control
 *   => transport uses message-level ACKs for RTT, fragment confirmation
 *   => integrate DV into transport, use neither core nor communicators
 *      but rather give communicators transport-encapsulated messages
 *      (which could be core-data, background-channel traffic, or
 *       transport-to-transport traffic)
 *
 * Implement next:
 * - route_message() implementation, including using DV data structures
 *   (but not when routing certain message types, like DV learn,
 *    looks like now like we need two flags (DV/no-DV, confirmed-only,
 *    unconfirmed OK)
 *   + NOTE: do NOT use PendingMessage for route_message(), as that is
 *     for fragmentation/reliability and ultimately core flow control!
 *     => route_message() should pick the queue
 *     => in case of DV routing, route_message should BOX the message, too.
 * - We currently do NEVER tell CORE also about DV-connections (core_visible
 *    of `struct DistanceVector` is simply never set!)
 *     + When? Easy if we initiated the DV and got the challenge; do that NOW
 *        BUT what we passively learned DV (unconfirmed freshness)
 *        => Do we trigger Challenge->Response there as well, or 'wait' for
 *           our own DV initiations to discover?
 *        => What about DV routes that expire? Do we also only count on
 *           our own DV initiations for maintenance here, or do we
 *           try to specifically re-confirm the existence of a particular path?
 *        => OPITMIZATION-FIXME!
 *   + Where do we track what we told core? Careful: need to check
 *     the "core_visible' flag in both neighbours and DV before
 *     sending out notifications to CORE!
 * - retransmission logic
 * - track RTT, distance, loss, etc. => requires extra data structures!
 *
 * Later:
 * - change transport-core API to provide proper flow control in both
 *   directions, allow multiple messages per peer simultaneously (tag
 *   confirmations with unique message ID), and replace quota-out with
 *   proper flow control;
 * - if messages are below MTU, consider adding ACKs and other stuff
 *   (requires planning at receiver, and additional MST-style demultiplex
 *    at receiver!)
 * - could avoid copying body of message into each fragment and keep
 *   fragments as just pointers into the original message and only
 *   fully build fragments just before transmission (optimization, should
 *   reduce CPU and memory use)
 *
 * FIXME (without marks in the code!):
 * - proper use/initialization of timestamps in messages exchanged
 *   during DV learning
 * - persistence of monotonic time obtained from other peers
 *   in PEERSTORE (by message type)
 *
 * Optimizations:
 * - use shorthashmap on msg_uuid's when matching reliability/fragment ACKs
 *   against our pending message queue (requires additional per neighbour
 *   hash map to be maintained, avoids possible linear scan on pending msgs)
 * - queue_send_msg and route_message both by API design have to make copies
 *   of the payload, and route_message on top of that requires a malloc/free.
 *   Change design to approximate "zero" copy better...
 *
 * Design realizations / discussion:
 * - communicators do flow control by calling MQ "notify sent"
 *   when 'ready'. They determine flow implicitly (i.e. TCP blocking)
 *   or explicitly via backchannel FC ACKs.  As long as the
 *   channel is not full, they may 'notify sent' even if the other
 *   peer has not yet confirmed receipt. The other peer confirming
 *   is _only_ for FC, not for more reliable transmission; reliable
 *   transmission (i.e. of fragments) is left to _transport_.
 * - ACKs sent back in uni-directional communicators are done via
 *   the background channel API; here transport _may_ initially
 *   broadcast (with bounded # hops) if no path is known;
 * - transport should _integrate_ DV-routing and build a view of
 *   the network; then background channel traffic can be
 *   routed via DV as well as explicit "DV" traffic.
 * - background channel is also used for ACKs and NAT traversal support
 * - transport service is responsible for AEAD'ing the background
 *   channel, timestamps and monotonic time are used against replay
 *   of old messages -> peerstore needs to be supplied with
 *   "latest timestamps seen" data
 * - if transport implements DV, we likely need a 3rd peermap
 *   in addition to ephemerals and (direct) neighbours
 *   ==> check if stuff needs to be moved out of "Neighbour"
 * - transport should encapsualte core-level messages and do its
 *   own ACKing for RTT/goodput/loss measurements _and_ fragment
 *   for retransmission
