`%ames` ======= Our networking protocol. `%ames` is the name of both our network and the vane that communicates over it. When Unix receives a packet over the correct UDP port, it pipes it straight into `%ames` for handling. Also, all packets sent over the `%ames` network are sent by the `%ames` vane. Apps and vanes may use `%ames` to directly send messages to other ships. In general, apps use gall and clay to communicate with other ships rather than using `%ames` directly, but this isn't a requirement. Of course, gall and clay use `%ames` behind the scenes to communicate across the network. These are the only two vanes that use `%ames`. `%ames` includes several significant components. Although the actual crypto algorithms are defined in zuse, they're used extensively in `%ames` for encrypting and decrypting packets. Congestion control and routing is handled entirely in `%ames`. Finally, the actual `%ames` protocol itself, including how to route incoming packets to the correct vane or app, is defined in `%ames`.
