UDP Tracker implementation
The main novel feature of Intermodal is expected to revolve around machine readable metadata manifests which enable a better user experience than existing content networks. I'd like to have sufficient infrastructure to develop features that use new data in manifests, so that everything works as expected end-to-end, and there is a compelling way to see the benefits of Intermodal.
To that end, I'd like to implement a UDP BitTorrrent tracker. Fortunately, the BitTorrent UDP tracker protocol is extremely simple.
Hopefully a basic implementation in async Rust won't require too much optimization to be fast.
After the basic implementation I can start to add features in tandem with manifest development, for example auto-population of an index with torrents announced to the tracker.
