Ire: the I2P Rust engine

Ire is a Rust implementation of an I2P router, designed to participate in the
global, decentralised I2P network.

Development Status

Ire is in pre-alpha; much of the internal architecture still needs to be defined
and implemented.

Usage

The binary implements a router, along with a basic client that can be used to
test the various transports:

1. Create a router.toml file and configure the router. See examples/router.toml for
   available configuration options.

2. Run the router:

   $ RUST_LOG=ire=debug cargo run --features cli --release router router.toml

3. Generate keys for the client:

   $ cargo run --features cli --release cli gen client.router.keys.dat

4. Run a client:

   $ RUST_LOG=ire=debug cargo run --features cli --release cli client client.router.keys.dat router.info [NTCP|NTCP2]
