RPP Mesh

Consent-Aware Overlay Network for RPP

RPP Mesh extends the Rotational Packet Protocol with network-level consent enforcement. Instead of checking consent only at the application layer, mesh nodes inspect RPP headers and enforce ACSP states at every hop.

Installation

pip install rpp-mesh

For WebSocket support (consent streaming from HNC):

pip install rpp-mesh[websockets]

Quick Start

from rpp_mesh import (
    RPPMeshTransport,
    RPPMeshConfig,
    DeploymentConfig,
    DeploymentMode,
    load_config,
)

# Load production config
config = load_config("production")

# Or configure manually
config = DeploymentConfig(
    mode=DeploymentMode.RPP_MESH,
    rpp_mesh=RPPMeshConfig(
        ingress_nodes=["mesh.example.com:7700"],
        consent_update_endpoint="wss://hnc.example.com/consent",
    )
)

# Create transport
transport = RPPMeshTransport(config.rpp_mesh)

# Connect to mesh
await transport.connect()

# Send packet (consent enforced at network level)
response = await transport.send(
    rpp_address=0x0182801,  # shell=0, theta=12, phi=40, harmonic=1
    payload=b"fragment data"
)

await transport.disconnect()

Mesh Header Format

16-byte header prepended to RPP packets:

┌───────┬───────┬───────────────┬─────────────────────────────┐
│ Ver   │ Flags │ Consent State │      Soul ID (16b)          │
│ (4b)  │ (4b)  │    (8b)       │                             │
├───────┴───────┴───────────────┴─────────────────────────────┤
│ Hop Count │  TTL  │ Coherence Hash │      Reserved          │
│   (8b)    │ (8b)  │     (16b)      │        (16b)           │
└───────────┴───────┴────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘

Deployment Modes

from rpp_mesh import DeploymentMode, load_config

# Development: Direct connection, no mesh
config = load_config("development")

# Staging: VPN tunnel
config = load_config("staging")

# Production: Full RPP Mesh
config = load_config("production")

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• rpp-protocol >= 0.1.9
• Optional: websockets for HNC consent streaming

Documentation

• Full Mesh Specification
• RPP Core Protocol
• PyPI: rpp-protocol
