Router-Info
A data structure or file which contains an I2P peer's needed network information

The Basics

Router-Info is a data structure (periodically written to a binary file) which contains all needed information to locate, identity, and communicate with an @I2P peer. Router-Info includes IP address, router identity, other misc. technical details; is needed for @network-database and is published to @floodfill routers.

In-depth information

In human-readable form, Router-Info may look like this:
