I2p-cp Access

Notifies the client that a new message has been received from the network.

: The client sends a protocol version byte (typically 0x2A ) to ensure compatibility. i2p-cp

: The client requests the current network time from the router via GetDate and SetDate messages. Notifies the client that a new message has

To establish a connection through the network, a client follows a specific handshake and setup sequence via I2CP:

Requests the router to resolve a human-readable name (like example.i2p ) to a cryptographic Destination.

: Since I2P is a packet-switched network where messages can be lost or delayed, I2CP is inherently asynchronous, allowing applications to manage their own reliability or use the built-in streaming library for TCP-like behavior. The Initialization Process
