 - Lease
 - Message
 - I2NP (skeleton file)
 - Tunnel (skeleton file)

Updated/cleaned-up/fixed:
 - Router-Info

### The Basics
A destination is the @I2P address of the final endpoint you are trying to connect to (an @I2P website or service).
A destination is the @I2P @in-net address of the final endpoint you are trying to connect to (example: an @I2P website, service, or simply a peer).
TODO(anonimal): finish
### In-depth Information
An @I2P destination can be encoded into a @base32-address or @base64-address. Most users will only care about @base32-address or a `.i2p` hostname while, internally, @Kovri will use the @base64-address.

summary: "An I2P router which maintains a distributed network-database"

### The Basics
TODO(anonimal): finish
By actively managing a distributed network-database, a router with *floodfill* capability has the ability to help maintain network stability and resiliancy while also being decentralized and trust-less.
### In-depth information
TODO(anonimal): finish
### Notes
TODO(anonimal): finish
Though floodfill itself is a simple storage system, the technical underpinnings of floodfill as it relates to @network-database and other protocols within @I2P are much more complex. Visit the [Network Database](https://geti2p.net/en/docs/how/network-database) page for details.

The term *Garlic Routing* has a diverse history of varying interpretations.
As it currently stands, Monero defines *Garlic Routing* as the method in which @Kovri and @I2P create a message-based anonymous overlay network of internet peers.

>during the free haven brainstorming, there was a moment where we described a routing mechanism, and somebody said "garlic routing!", and everybody laughed.
so we for sure thought we had invented the name, at the time.
Note: permission to use the aforementioned quotes were granted by Nick Mathewson and Roger Dingledine
### In-depth Information
In technical terms, for @Kovri and @I2P, *Garlic Routing* translates to any/all of the following:
1. Layered Encryption
2. Bundling multiple messages together (garlic cloves)
3. ElGamal/AES Encryption
- Layered Encryption (like Onion Routing)
- Bundling multiple @messages together (garlic cloves)
- ElGamal/AES Encryption
Note: as seen in [Tor](https://torproject.org/), *Onion Routing* also uses layered encryption but does not use ElGamal and is not message-based.

summary: "Contains all currently authorized Leases for a particular I2P Destination"

### The Basics
TODO(anonimal): finish
A Lease-Set contains a set of authorized @leases (and other related information) for a particular @destination.
### In-depth information
TODO(anonimal): finish
A Lease-Set contains:
- all of the currently authorized @leases for a particular @destination
- the public key to which garlic messages can be encrypted (see @garlic-routing)
- the signing public key that can be used to revoke this particular version of the structure
The Lease-Set is one of the two structures stored in the @network-database (the other being @router-info), and is keyed under the SHA256 of the contained @destination.
