Inter-mare data system

The inter-mare data system is designed to provide a common interface for sharing data between MAREs. This is the heart of NightMAREbot, allowing data to be sent between the home and remote MAREs.

Packets

The data is sent in packets. Each packet is constructed of text-encoded fields. Any special characters required in the fields are not encoded, such as the @ and . in the from field.

Packet field order

1	2	3	4
to	from	id	data

Packet field description

field	format	purpose
to	attribute @ object . mare	recipient address
from	attribute @ object . mare	sender (return) address
id	number	id reference number, sender/recipient can use this however they wish
data	string	data, or message body if using email terms
