KadNode data structures

values

Stores identifiers that need to be announced once or multiple times (depending on lifetime).

struct value_t {
	UCHAR id[SHA1_BIN_LENGTH];
#ifdef AUTH
	UCHAR *skey;
#endif
	int port;
	time_t lifetime; /* Keep entry refreshed until the lifetime expires */
	time_t refresh; /* Next time the entry need to be refreshed */
	struct value_t *next;
};

results

Stores addresses from searches.

struct result_t {
	IP addr;
#ifdef AUTH
	UCHAR *challenge;
	int challenges_send;
#endif
	struct result_t *next;
};

Authentication Extension data structures

Two lists for storing public/secret key including patterns.

struct key_t {
	char* pattern;
	UCHAR* keybytes;
	size_t keysize;
	struct key_t *next;
};

Forwarding Extension data structures

A list that represents all port that KadNode will try to establish a port forwarding for (via UPnP/NAT-PMP).

struct forwarding_t {
	int port; /* the port to be forwarded on the router */
	time_t lifetime; /* keep entry until lifetime expires */
	time_t refreshed; /* last time the entry was refreshed */
	struct forwarding_t *next;
};
