Crate core

Expand description

Transports, upgrades, multiplexing and node handling of libp2p.

The main concepts of libp2p-core are:

The Transport trait defines how to reach a remote node or listen for incoming remote connections. See the transport module.
The StreamMuxer trait is implemented on structs that hold a connection to a remote and can subdivide this connection into multiple substreams. See the muxing module.
The UpgradeInfo, InboundUpgrade and OutboundUpgrade traits define how to upgrade each individual substream to use a protocol. See the upgrade module.

Modules§

connection
either
multiaddr: Implementation of multiaddr in Rust.
muxing: Muxing is the process of splitting a connection into multiple substreams.
peer_record
signed_envelope
transport: Connection-oriented communication channels.
upgrade: Contains everything related to upgrading a connection or a substream to use a protocol.

DecodeError
Multiaddr: Representation of a Multiaddr.
PeerRecord: Represents a peer routing record.
SignedEnvelope: A signed envelope contains an arbitrary byte string payload, a signature of the payload, and the public key that can be used to verify the signature.

ConnectedPoint: The endpoint roles associated with an established peer-to-peer connection.
Endpoint: The endpoint roles associated with a peer-to-peer communication channel.

InboundUpgrade: Possible upgrade on an inbound connection or substream.
OutboundUpgrade: Possible upgrade on an outbound connection or substream.
StreamMuxer: Provides multiplexing for a connection by allowing users to open substreams.
Transport: A transport provides connection-oriented communication between two peers through ordered streams of data (i.e. connections).
UpgradeInfo: Common trait for upgrades that can be applied on inbound substreams, outbound substreams, or both.
