# transport `addr` and a `control` for it.

# A `Route` describes a network path that can be followed to reach some target entity.
#
# It starts with a set of zero or more possible non-Syndicate `transports`. These could be
# `transportAddress.Tcp` values or similar. They are just suggestions; it's quite possible the
# endpoint is reachable by some means not listed. The network outside Syndicate is, after all,
# pretty diverse! In particular, *zero* `transports` may be provided, in which case some
# out-of-band means has to be used to make that first connection.
#
# The `transports` give instructions for contacting the first entity in the `Route` path. Often
# this will be a `gatekeeper`, or a `noise` protocol endpoint, or both. Occasionally, it may
# even be the desired target entity. Subsequent `pathSteps` describe how to proceed from the
# initial entity to the target.
#
# (`transports` should by rights be a set, not a sequence, but that opens up a Can Of Worms
# regarding dataspace patterns including literal sets that I can't deal with right now.)
