`static int` `PROTOCOL_BYTE` protocol flag that must be sent when opening the i2cp connection to the router

Method Summary
`Destination` `createDestination(OutputStream destKeyStream)` Create a new destination with the default certificate creation properties and store it, along with the private encryption and signing keys at the specified location
`Destination` `createDestination(OutputStream destKeyStream, Certificate cert)` Create a new destination with the given certificate and store it, along with the private encryption and signing keys at the specified location
`I2PSession` `createSession(InputStream destKeyStream, Properties options)` Create a new client session for the Destination stored at the destKeyStream using the specified options to both connect to the router, to instruct the router how to handle the new session, and to configure the end to end encryption.

Method Detail

### createSession

    I2PSession createSession(InputStream destKeyStream,
                             Properties options)
                             throws I2PSessionException

  Create a new client session for the Destination stored at the destKeyStream using the specified options to both connect to the router, to instruct the router how to handle the new session, and to configure the end to end encryption.

  Parameters:
    `destKeyStream` - location from which to read the Destination, PrivateKey, and SigningPrivateKey from
    `options` - set of options to configure the router with, if null will use System properties
  Returns:
    new session allowing a Destination to recieve all of its messages and send messages to any other Destination.
  Throws:
    `I2PSessionException`

### createDestination

    Destination createDestination(OutputStream destKeyStream)
                                  throws I2PException,
                                         IOException

  Create a new destination with the default certificate creation properties and store it, along with the private encryption and signing keys at the specified location

  Parameters:
    `destKeyStream` - create a new destination and write out the object to the given stream, formatted as Destination, PrivateKey, and SigningPrivateKey
  Returns:
    new destination
  Throws:
    `I2PException`
    `IOException`

### createDestination

    Destination createDestination(OutputStream destKeyStream,
                                  Certificate cert)
                                  throws I2PException,
                                         IOException

  Create a new destination with the given certificate and store it, along with the private encryption and signing keys at the specified location

  Parameters:
    `destKeyStream` - location to write out the destination, PrivateKey, and SigningPrivateKey
    `cert` - certificate to tie to the destination
  Returns:
    newly created destination
  Throws:
    `I2PException`
    `IOException`
