Low-level wire encoding and decoding for the IRTT-compatible protocol: request and reply structs, flags, negotiable parameters, varint/zigzag primitives, and HMAC-MD5 packet authentication. No sockets, no runtime, no session state.

Who should use this

Most applications should not depend on this crate directly. Use irtt-client to run client sessions or irtt-server to run a server; both build on irtt-proto and provide session lifecycle, negotiation, and validated configuration on top of it.

Reach for irtt-proto directly only if you are implementing another IRTT-compatible client or server from scratch and need the raw packet layer.

Field values mirror the wire format closely rather than expressing policy: Params::decode rejects malformed input, but direct construction plus Params::encode performs no additional validation — callers are responsible for validating values before sending them.
