Struct ChannelPolicy 

pub struct ChannelPolicy {
    pub channel_id: ChannelId,
    pub require_unencrypted: bool,
    pub require_full_source: bool,
    pub max_flood_hops: Option<u8>,
}

Per-channel operating-policy overrides enforced on outgoing traffic.

OperatingPolicy holds a small list of ChannelPolicy entries, one per channel that requires non-default behavior. When the coordinator builds a multicast or blind-unicast frame, it checks whether the target channel_id appears in this list and applies any overrides before sealing the packet.

Typical use cases:

• Unlicensed spectrum compliance — force require_unencrypted = true for channels that must operate under Part 15 / ISM-band rules where encryption is permissible but the channel operator has chosen to run openly.
• Metadata reduction — force require_full_source = true when receiving nodes need to resolve the sender without a prior key-exchange round-trip (e.g., a public beacon channel where all senders are first-contact).
• Propagation budget — set max_flood_hops for high-density channels where uncontrolled flooding would waste airtime.

Channels absent from the policy list use the permissive defaults inherited from SendOptions.

Fields

channel_id: ChannelId

Channel to which this policy applies.

require_unencrypted: bool

Whether the channel must be sent unencrypted.

require_full_source: bool

Whether the channel requires the full source public key.

max_flood_hops: Option<u8>

Optional maximum flood-hop budget.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ChannelPolicy

fn clone(&self) -> ChannelPolicy

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ChannelPolicy

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for ChannelPolicy

fn eq(&self, other: &ChannelPolicy) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
