This repository is the central place for Rust development of the libp2p spec.
Warning: While we are trying our best to be compatible with other libp2p implementations, we cannot guarantee that this is the case considering the lack of a precise libp2p specifications.
How to use the library?
Where to ask questions?
The main components of this repository are structured as follows:
core/: The implementation of libp2p-core with its Network,
Transport and StreamMuxer API on which almost all other crates depend.
transports/: Implementations of transport protocols (e.g. TCP) and protocol upgrades
(e.g. for authenticated encryption, compression, ...) based on the libp2p-core Transport
API .
muxers/: Implementations of the StreamMuxer interface of libp2p-core,
e.g. (sub)stream multiplexing protocols on top of (typically TCP) connections.
Multiplexing protocols are (mandatory) Transport upgrades.
swarm/: The implementation of libp2p-swarm building on libp2p-core
with the central interfaces NetworkBehaviour and ProtocolsHandler used
to implement application protocols (see protocols/).
protocols/: Implementations of application protocols based on the
libp2p-swarm APIs.
misc/: Utility libraries.
examples/: Worked examples of built-in application protocols (see protocols/)
with common Transport configurations.
