Random Endpoint generation for tests about crust HOT 6 CLOSED

Could you clarify this a little? I'm still trying to get a grip on the terminology: what is an endpoint in this context?

In the Ruby world, there are tools like Faker and Forgery which can generate random pieces of data like phone numbers and IP addresses. Are you looking for something like that here?

Enpoint is an Enum representing endpoint of supported protocols in crust.

For Random endpoint, you can see an example here: https://github.com/maidsafe/routing/blob/master/src/test_utils/types_util.rs

If you check the utp repo you will find how they use this very similar feature :-) https://github.com/meqif/rust-utp/blob/master/tests/stream.rs

There is an implementation already in routing, you need to update it in crust.(using Random trait)

@benjaminbollen @dirvine, so Routing currently has its own function to generate random Endpoints and Connections, could you confirm that this is OK and we can close this issue or whether you want Crust to export such functionality.

I may have accidentally opened this issue myself :-P, closing again.
