IGCP

IGCP is the communication backend of Canary. It provides a simple Channel type that represents a stream of objects, and a serializable std::io::Result.

async fn send(mut channel: Channel) -> Result<()> {
    channel.send("hello world!").await?;
    channel.send(42).await?;
    Ok(())
}

IGCP | intergalactic communications protocol

IGCP is designed to abstract over streams or low-level communication protocols. IGCP should be as high-level as possible while keeping configurability and zero-cost to the wire. The main abstraction IGCP offers are channels, which represent a stream of objects that can be sent or received. At the moment, IGCP channels are not completely zero-cost.
