Crate libp2p::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§

Structs§

  • Representation of a Multiaddr.
  • Represents a peer routing record.
  • 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.

Enums§

  • The endpoint roles associated with an established peer-to-peer connection.
  • The endpoint roles associated with a peer-to-peer communication channel.

Traits§

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