GateServer

[Perseus]

Starting with the GateServer component

Why

• Smallest code-base to port
• High impact - all requests from the clients flow through this

Goals

• Fully tested implementation in Rust
• Expose live metrics and a dashboard (maybe Prometheus?)
• Maintain or improve performance parity with original GateServer
• Allow setting up multiple GateServers (multi-region deployments, to act as edge proxies for users)

Packet Parsing

What

• Setting up the packet parsing module
• Decide how to serialize/deserialize packets (better definitions than existing ToP defs)

How

• Create the packet reading and writing module
• Create a serialize/deserialize implementation using serde

Goal:

• Make a generic Packet type that can use serde and serialize/deserialize from raw bytes

How?

Packet struct is -

pub struct Packet<T> {
    raw_data: BytesMut,
    data: T,
    cmd: Command,
    size: u16,
    offset: u8,
    header: u32,
    reverse_offset: u8,
}

• T needs to be serializable into bytes

Login Packet

TODO:

• Login packet gets forwarded to the GroupServer -> AccountServer
• Validation of all fields (packet middleware?)
• Response gets relayed back to the client
• Handle multiple logins for the same account (config value?)
