# L0 Transport Layer
**Layer:** L0 (Transport)
**Purpose:** Wire protocols, frame encoding, time primitives
**RFCs:** RFC-0000 (LWF), RFC-0105 (Time L0 component)
---
## Overview
The L0 Transport layer provides low-level wire protocol implementations for the Libertaria network. It handles packet framing, serialization, and transport-layer timestamps.
## Components
### LWF (Libertaria Wire Frame) - `lwf.zig`
**RFC:** RFC-0000
Wire protocol implementation for fixed-size headers and variable payloads. Supports CRC32-C and Ed25519.
### Time - `time.zig`
**RFC:** RFC-0105
Nanosecond precision transport-layer time primitives.
### UTCP (Unreliable Transport Protocol) - `utcp/socket.zig`
**RFC:** RFC-0010
Fast-path UDP wrapper for LWF frames. Features rapid entropy validation (DoS defense) before deep parsing.
### OPQ (Offline Packet Queue) - `opq/`
**RFC:** RFC-0020
High-resilience store-and-forward mechanism using a **Segmented WAL** (Write-Ahead Log) for 72-96 hour packet retention.
### L0 Service - `service.zig`
The integrated engine that orchestrates `Network -> UTCP -> OPQ -> Ingestion`. Handles automated maintenance and persona-based policies.

## Usage
```zig
const l0 = @import("l0_transport.zig");
// Create LWF frame
var frame = try l0.lwf.LWFFrame.init(allocator, 1024);
defer frame.deinit(allocator);
// Set header fields
frame.header.service_type = 0x0700; // Vector message
frame.header.timestamp = l0.time.nowNanoseconds();
// Encode for transport
const encoded = try frame.encode(allocator);
defer allocator.free(encoded);
```

## Testing
Run L0 tests:
```bash
zig test l0-transport/lwf.zig
zig test l0-transport/time.zig
```
