lanparty-client-core now owns the platform-neutral remote client relay session. It validates relay trust input, room, virtual MAC identity, and datagram budget, then connects to the relay, sends a client hello, and stores the assigned welcome metadata. The session exposes Ethernet datagram send and receive helpers that stamp outgoing frames with the relay-assigned room and peer ids, ignore frames for other rooms or from itself, and reject malformed Ethernet payloads before handing them to the future TAP bridge. The loopback Quinn test verifies the full client-side control and datagram path without requiring Windows TAP access: pinned certificate trust, role = client hello, announced virtual MAC, welcome parsing, and Ethernet datagrams in both directions.

lanparty-proto
Transport-agnostic tunnel contract shared by all binaries:
- overlay datagram header encoding and decoding
- Ethernet frame header parsing
- MAC address parsing and identity validation
- QUIC datagram to TAP MTU budget helpers
lanparty-ctrl
Reliable control-plane schema shared by the QUIC stream handlers:
- endpoint hello messages with role, room, MAC, and datagram budget
- server welcome, reject, peer lifecycle, stats, and disconnect messages
- room-code, role/MAC, peer-id, and effective-MTU validation
- length-prefixed JSON control frames for reliable QUIC streams
lanparty-obs
Shared diagnostics and structured logging vocabulary:
- gateway/relay frame logs with MACs, ethertype, length, peer, and action
- tunnel counters shared by control messages and runtime diagnostics
- client connectivity/TAP diagnostics and user-facing status messages
lanparty-client-core
Platform-neutral remote client relay session:
- relay QUIC connection with pinned relay certificate trust
- client hello with room, virtual MAC, and datagram budget
- welcome/reject handling with assigned peer id and effective TAP MTU
- Ethernet frame send/receive helpers over QUIC DATAGRAM
lanparty-relay
Public relay binary and relay-owned room state:
- QUIC endpoint binding and first-stream hello/welcome admission
- room admission for clients and gateways
- one gateway per room, duplicate client MAC rejection, and room limits
- stable effective room MTU chosen before Ethernet datagrams flow
- live Ethernet datagram forwarding with no ingress reflection
- L2 safety filters for jumbo, switch-control, DHCP-server, and IPv6-RA frames
- peer leave cleanup for room membership and MAC indexes

Relay
cargo run -p lanparty-relay -- --listen 443/udp
--listen accepts either a socket address or a UDP port shorthand such as
443/udp. The relay binds a QUIC endpoint, accepts a control-stream hello,
replies with welcome or reject, and forwards live Ethernet QUIC datagrams
between accepted peers in the same room. It currently uses a generated
self-signed development certificate; production certificate and client trust
handling remain future work.
Gateway
cargo run -p lanparty-gateway -- \
--relay 203.0.113.10:443 \
--server-name lanparty-relay.local \
--relay-ca-cert relay-cert.der \
--room ROOM1 \
--interface eth0
The gateway connects to the relay as role = gateway, completes the
control-stream hello/welcome handshake, opens an AF_PACKET socket on the LAN
interface, and bridges Ethernet frames between the relay and wired LAN until
shutdown.
