Railway Metaphor

Term	Meaning
Freight/Passenger	Data frames inside the protocol buffer
Carriage	Packet (protocol representation)
Rail Network	Definition of steps to route data A→B with mappings

Tech Stack

• Rust edition 2024
• tokio (rt-multi-thread, net, io-util, macros, time, sync, signal)
• tokio-util (codec), tokio-stream
• async-trait, bytes, tracing

v2 Design Differences from v1

• More composable generics: ByteStreamSource/ByteStreamDestination traits with blanket impls
• Generic Frame<B, P> enum with Passthrough/Buffered variants instead of concrete phase machine
• FrameProducer extends tokio-util Decoder directly
• Single railway package (may expand later) vs v1’s 6-crate workspace

Notes

• Networker Agent Context
• Railscale v1 Architecture
