If you want to work with a complete socket address type including port, we have a helper in SocketAddress. However, the moment you want to talk only about an IP address we force you to hold an in_addr or in_addr6 structure: hardly the friendliest versions of these data types.

We should provide a helpful wrapper IPAddress type that can be converted into those types as needed. This would

It should be possible to use multiple backends in a single process.

We should document how one might want to achieve this.

I think this is the case as I've written tests with concurrent systems against metrics... but will need to double check.

for debugging purposes, we should offer an option to switch on plain text .pcap recording.

It should be very clear that it's for debugging because NIOWritePCAPHandler.SynchronisedFileSink blocks the event loop (we could write an async file sink ofc)...

A pretty terrible patch that can serve as example (but not the final impl ofc) is here:

diff --git a/Package.swift b/Package.sw

We need more tests for the encoder. It's test coverage is rather bad right now:

PRs are very welcome.

Support for configurations is in already. We need a config file parser to fill the Configuration object, and presumably some more options ;-)
