Build Status ISC License GoDoc

Package peer provides a common base for creating and managing bitcoin network peers.

This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing a full featured bitcoin peer base to build on.

Overview

This package builds upon the wire package, which provides the fundamental primitives necessary to speak the bitcoin wire protocol, in order to simplify the process of creating fully functional peers. In essence, it provides a common base for creating concurrent safe fully validating nodes, Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) nodes, proxies, etc.

A quick overview of the major features peer provides are as follows:

  • Provides a basic concurrent safe bitcoin peer for handling bitcoin communications via the peer-to-peer protocol
  • Full duplex reading and writing of bitcoin protocol messages
  • Automatic handling of the initial handshake process including protocol version negotiation
  • Asynchronous message queueing of outbound messages with optional channel for notification when the message is actually sent
  • Flexible peer configuration
    • Caller is responsible for creating outgoing connections and listening for incoming connections so they have flexibility to establish connections as they see fit (proxies, etc)
    • User agent name and version
    • Bitcoin network
    • Service support signalling (full nodes, bloom filters, etc)
    • Maximum supported protocol version
    • Ability to register callbacks for handling bitcoin protocol messages
  • Inventory message batching and send trickling with known inventory detection and avoidance
  • Automatic periodic keep-alive pinging and pong responses
  • Random nonce generation and self connection detection
  • Proper handling of bloom filter related commands when the caller does not specify the related flag to signal support
    • Disconnects the peer when the protocol version is high enough
    • Does not invoke the related callbacks for older protocol versions
  • Snapshottable peer statistics such as the total number of bytes read and written, the remote address, user agent, and negotiated protocol version
  • Helper functions pushing addresses, getblocks, getheaders, and reject messages
    • These could all be sent manually via the standard message output function, but the helpers provide additional nice functionality such as duplicate filtering and address randomization
  • Ability to wait for shutdown/disconnect
  • Comprehensive test coverage

Peer Configuration

All peer configuration is handled with the Config struct. This allows the caller to specify things such as the user agent name and version, the bitcoin network to use, which services it supports, and callbacks to invoke when bitcoin messages are received. See the documentation for each field of the Config struct for more details.

Inbound and Outbound Peers

A peer can either be inbound or outbound. The caller is responsible for establishing the connection to remote peers and listening for incoming peers. This provides high flexibility for things such as connecting via proxies, acting as a proxy, creating bridge peers, choosing whether to listen for inbound peers, etc.

NewOutboundPeer and NewInboundPeer functions must be followed by calling Connect with a net.Conn instance to the peer. This will start all async I/O goroutines and initiate the protocol negotiation process. Once finished with the peer call Disconnect to disconnect from the peer and clean up all resources. WaitForDisconnect can be used to block until peer disconnection and resource cleanup has completed.

Callbacks

In order to do anything useful with a peer, it is necessary to react to bitcoin messages. This is accomplished by creating an instance of the MessageListeners struct with the callbacks to be invoke specified and setting the Listeners field of the Config struct specified when creating a peer to it.

For convenience, a callback hook for all of the currently supported bitcoin messages is exposed which receives the peer instance and the concrete message type. In addition, a hook for OnRead is provided so even custom messages types for which this package does not directly provide a hook, as long as they implement the wire.Message interface, can be used. Finally, the OnWrite hook is provided, which in conjunction with OnRead, can be used to track server-wide byte counts.

It is often useful to use closures which encapsulate state when specifying the callback handlers. This provides a clean method for accessing that state when callbacks are invoked.

Queuing Messages and Inventory

The QueueMessage function provides the fundamental means to send messages to the remote peer. As the name implies, this employs a non-blocking queue. A done channel which will be notified when the message is actually sent can optionally be specified. There are certain message types which are better sent using other functions which provide additional functionality.

Of special interest are inventory messages. Rather than manually sending MsgInv messages via Queuemessage, the inventory vectors should be queued using the QueueInventory function. It employs batching and trickling along with intelligent known remote peer inventory detection and avoidance through the use of a most-recently used algorithm.

Message Sending Helper Functions

In addition to the bare QueueMessage function previously described, the PushAddrMsg, PushGetBlocksMsg, PushGetHeadersMsg, and PushRejectMsg functions are provided as a convenience. While it is of course possible to create and send these message manually via QueueMessage, these helper functions provided additional useful functionality that is typically desired.

For example, the PushAddrMsg function automatically limits the addresses to the maximum number allowed by the message and randomizes the chosen addresses when there are too many. This allows the caller to simply provide a slice of known addresses, such as that returned by the addrmgr package, without having to worry about the details.

Next, the PushGetBlocksMsg and PushGetHeadersMsg functions will construct proper messages using a block locator and ignore back to back duplicate requests.

Finally, the PushRejectMsg function can be used to easily create and send an appropriate reject message based on the provided parameters as well as optionally provides a flag to cause it to block until the message is actually sent.

Peer Statistics

A snapshot of the current peer statistics can be obtained with the StatsSnapshot function. This includes statistics such as the total number of bytes read and written, the remote address, user agent, and negotiated protocol version.

Logging

This package provides extensive logging capabilities through the UseLogger function which allows a btclog.Logger to be specified. For example, logging at the debug level provides summaries of every message sent and received, and logging at the trace level provides full dumps of parsed messages as well as the raw message bytes using a format similar to hexdump -C.

Bitcoin Improvement Proposals

This package supports all BIPS supported by the wire package. (https://godoc.org/github.com/btcsuite/btcd/wire#hdr-Bitcoin_Improvement_Proposals)

Example (NewOutboundPeer)

This example demonstrates the basic process for initializing and creating an outbound peer. Peers negotiate by exchanging version and verack messages. For demonstration, a simple handler for version message is attached to the peer. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net"
	"time"

	"github.com/Messer4/btcd/chaincfg"
	"github.com/Messer4/btcd/peer"
	"github.com/Messer4/btcd/wire"
)

// mockRemotePeer creates a basic inbound peer listening on the simnet port for
// use with Example_peerConnection.  It does not return until the listner is
// active.
func mockRemotePeer() error {
	// Configure peer to act as a simnet node that offers no services.
	peerCfg := &peer.Config{
		UserAgentName:    "peer",  // User agent name to advertise.
		UserAgentVersion: "1.0.0", // User agent version to advertise.
		ChainParams:      &chaincfg.SimNetParams,
	}

	// Accept connections on the simnet port.
	listener, err := net.Listen("tcp", "127.0.0.1:18555")
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	go func() {
		conn, err := listener.Accept()
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Printf("Accept: error %v\n", err)
			return
		}

		// Create and start the inbound peer.
		p := peer.NewInboundPeer(peerCfg)
		p.AssociateConnection(conn)
	}()

	return nil
}

// This example demonstrates the basic process for initializing and creating an
// outbound peer.  Peers negotiate by exchanging version and verack messages.
// For demonstration, a simple handler for version message is attached to the
// peer.
func main() {
	// Ordinarily this will not be needed since the outbound peer will be
	// connecting to a remote peer, however, since this example is executed
	// and tested, a mock remote peer is needed to listen for the outbound
	// peer.
	if err := mockRemotePeer(); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("mockRemotePeer: unexpected error %v\n", err)
		return
	}

	// Create an outbound peer that is configured to act as a simnet node
	// that offers no services and has listeners for the version and verack
	// messages.  The verack listener is used here to signal the code below
	// when the handshake has been finished by signalling a channel.
	verack := make(chan struct{})
	peerCfg := &peer.Config{
		UserAgentName:    "peer",  // User agent name to advertise.
		UserAgentVersion: "1.0.0", // User agent version to advertise.
		ChainParams:      &chaincfg.SimNetParams,
		Services:         0,
		Listeners: peer.MessageListeners{
			OnVersion: func(p *peer.Peer, msg *wire.MsgVersion) {
				fmt.Println("outbound: received version")
			},
			OnVerAck: func(p *peer.Peer, msg *wire.MsgVerAck) {
				verack <- struct{}{}
			},
		},
	}
	p, err := peer.NewOutboundPeer(peerCfg, "127.0.0.1:18555")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("NewOutboundPeer: error %v\n", err)
		return
	}

	// Establish the connection to the peer address and mark it connected.
	conn, err := net.Dial("tcp", p.Addr())
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("net.Dial: error %v\n", err)
		return
	}
	p.AssociateConnection(conn)

	// Wait for the verack message or timeout in case of failure.
	select {
	case <-verack:
	case <-time.After(time.Second * 1):
		fmt.Printf("Example_peerConnection: verack timeout")
	}

	// Disconnect the peer.
	p.Disconnect()
	p.WaitForDisconnect()

}

Output:

outbound: received version

}

MessageListeners defines callback function pointers to invoke with message listeners for a peer. Any listener which is not set to a concrete callback during peer initialization is ignored. Execution of multiple message listeners occurs serially, so one callback blocks the execution of the next.

NOTE: Unless otherwise documented, these listeners must NOT directly call any blocking calls (such as WaitForShutdown) on the peer instance since the input handler goroutine blocks until the callback has completed. Doing so will result in a deadlock.

type Peer 

type Peer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Peer provides a basic concurrent safe bitcoin peer for handling bitcoin communications via the peer-to-peer protocol. It provides full duplex reading and writing, automatic handling of the initial handshake process, querying of usage statistics and other information about the remote peer such as its address, user agent, and protocol version, output message queuing, inventory trickling, and the ability to dynamically register and unregister callbacks for handling bitcoin protocol messages.

Outbound messages are typically queued via QueueMessage or QueueInventory. QueueMessage is intended for all messages, including responses to data such as blocks and transactions. QueueInventory, on the other hand, is only intended for relaying inventory as it employs a trickling mechanism to batch the inventory together. However, some helper functions for pushing messages of specific types that typically require common special handling are provided as a convenience.
