Trait CoverTrafficGeneration 

pub trait CoverTrafficGeneration {
    // Required method
    fn build(&self) -> Pin<Box<dyn Stream<Item = DestinationRouting> + Send>>;
}

A trait for types that can generate cover traffic routes for the HOPR network.

Implementors of this trait are responsible for producing an infinite stream of DestinationRouting values, each representing a route for a cover (non-user) traffic. Cover traffic is essential for privacy and network health, as it helps to obscure real user traffic and maintain plausible deniability for network participants.

Requirements

• The stream produced by build should not terminate under normal operation, as the termination will lead to the cessation of cover traffic generation.
• Route selection should be randomized or follow a strategy that maximizes privacy and/or network utility.

Required Methods

fn build(&self) -> Pin<Box<dyn Stream<Item = DestinationRouting> + Send>>

Builds a stream of routes to be used for cover traffic.

The stream should be neverending for continual cover traffic generation.
