Introduce the XRF peer type

[chazapis]

XRF peers can now be defined in the xlxd.interlink file,
allowing linking of a local module to a remote using
the DExtra protocol. XRF peers are shown in the peer list,
along with their XLX siblings.

Changes affect only how the reflector initiates the link,
as xlxd already supports incoming DExtra links.
Each peer is associated internally with a remote client,
so code changes include distinguishing peer connect acks
from non-peer ones and handling timeouts differently for
peer clients to clean up the peer data structure.
The DExtra disconnect packet is now properly implemented.

Hi,

so if I want to try XRF linking from XLX reflector I just change files and restart service or I need to do something more?
Thank you

You just need to add the respective configuration in xlxd.interlkink. There are instructions in the file.

Up and running now on my test server... can we do multiple module links between two reflectors?

[chazapis]

It's implemented. Not a feature request.

I wonder if it would be possible for this feature to be modified so multiple links between two reflectors could be achieved?

Just be aware that all the xrf peer links seem to stop responding if you have too many. Not sure on number sorry. Very good feature though. Have decommissioned my separate dxrfd linking server. Tony Hughes ZL2EZ

Running your code on my reflector, only have 2 XRF links but it's working perfectly so far. Thanks!
