Defines a ThousandIsland.Transport implementation based on clear TCP sockets as provided by Erlang's :gen_tcp module. For the most part, users of Thousand Island will only ever need to deal with this module via transport_options passed to ThousandIsland at startup time. A complete list of such options is defined via the t::gen_tcp.listen_option() type. This list can be somewhat difficult to decipher; by far the most common value to pass to this transport is the following:

• ip: The IP to listen on. Can be specified as:
  • {1, 2, 3, 4} for IPv4 addresses
  • {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} for IPv6 addresses
  • :loopback for local loopback
  • :any for all interfaces (i.e.: 0.0.0.0)
  • {:local, "/path/to/socket"} for a Unix domain socket. If this option is used, the port option must be set to 0

Unless overridden, this module uses the following default options:

backlog: 1024,
nodelay: true,
linger: {true, 30},
send_timeout: 30_000,
send_timeout_close: true,
reuseaddr: true

The following options are required for the proper operation of Thousand Island and cannot be overridden:

mode: :binary,
active: false
