Factom P2P Networking

Diagram

Conceptual

The P2P Network for factom is a custom library which is mostly independent of hte factomd codebase. It has almost no external dependencies.

It is designed to be autonamous and operate without configuration. When starting up a node will look to the information in the configuration file and the command line to determine who to connect to. The seedURL is a source of initial peers to connect ot for new nodes. Each node will attempt to keep at least 8 outgoing connections live and allow a larger number of incomming connections.

Nodes share peers with each other when they first connect, and periodically thereafter. Nodes also check the messages they get from other nodes ot verify they are on the same network (eg: production blockchain vs testnet) and are of compatible software versions among other things. Each connection results in merits or demerits depending on the quality of the connection. The nodes keep a quality score on a per-IP basis.

Please note that all the networking is IPV4. IPV6 is not supported. Additionally, this network will not tunnel thru NAT.

Nodes can be set up to only dial out to a limited set of peers, called "special peers". Special peers are not shareed with other peers in the network. Additionally, special peers will always be connected to and if there are conectivity problems the connections will remain persistent, and constantly reconnect. Special peers can be determined on the command line or in the configuration file.

Operations

Command line options
  -customnet string
    	This string specifies a custom blockchain network ID.
  -network string
    	Network to join: MAIN, TEST or LOCAL
  -networkPort int
    	Address for p2p network to listen on.
  -peers string
    	Array of peer addresses. 
      These peers are considered "special"
Config file

An example of the config file is below. Network determines which network we are participating in. Main is the production blockchain. TEST is the Testnet.

For each network type you can change the port, seedURL and peers. The SeedURL is a static file of known trusted peers to connect to. The special peers are peers you want to always dial out to.

; --------------- Network: MAIN | TEST | LOCAL
Network                               = LOCAL
PeersFile            = "peers.json"
MainNetworkPort      = 8108
MainSeedURL          = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FactomProject/factomproject.github.io/master/seed/mainseed.txt"
MainSpecialPeers     = ""
TestNetworkPort      = 8109
TestSeedURL          = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FactomProject/factomproject.github.io/master/seed/testseed.txt"
TestSpecialPeers     = ""
LocalNetworkPort     = 8110
LocalSeedURL         = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FactomProject/factomproject.github.io/master/seed/localseed.txt"
LocalSpecialPeers    = ""

2.3.4.5:6789

Architecture

App <-> Controller <-> Connection <-> TCP (or UDP in future)

Controller - controller.go This manages the peers in the network. It keeps connections alive, and routes messages from the application to the appropriate peer. It talks to the application over several channels. It uses a commandChannel for process isolation, but provides public functions for all of the commands. The messages for the network peers go over the ToNetwork and come in on the FromNetwork channels.

Connection - connection.go This struct represents an individual connection to another peer. It talks to the controller over channels, again providing process/memory isolation.

Constants

View Source 
const (
	ConnectionInitialized  uint8 = iota //Structure created, have peer info. Dial command moves us to Online or Shutdown (depending)
	ConnectionOnline                    // We're connected to the other side.  Normal state
	ConnectionOffline                   // We've been disconnected for whatever reason.  Attempt to reconnect some number of times. Moves to Online if successful, Shutdown if not.
	ConnectionShuttingDown              // We're shutting down, the receives loop exits.
	ConnectionClosed                    // We're shut down, the runloop sets this state right before exiting. Controller can clean us up.
)

Each connection is a simple state machine. The state is managed by a single goroutine which also does networking. The flow is this: Connection gets initialized, and either has a peer or a net connection (From an accept()) If no network connection, the Connection dials. If the dial is successful, it moves to the Online state If not, it moves to the Shutdown state-- we only dial out once when initialized with a peer. If we are online and get a network error, we shift to offline mode. In offline state we attempt to reconnect for a period defined in protocol.go. IF successful, we go back Online. If too many attempts are made, we go to The ConnectionShutdown state, and exit the runloop. In the Shutdown state we notify the controller so that we can be cleaned up.

View Source 
const (
	ConnectionIsClosed uint8 = iota // Notifies the controller that we are shut down and can be released
	ConnectionShutdownNow
	ConnectionUpdatingPeer
	ConnectionAdjustPeerQuality
	ConnectionUpdateMetrics
	ConnectionGoOffline // Notifies the connection it should go offinline (eg from another goroutine)
)

These are the commands that connections can send/receive

	InvalidPeerDemerit          // The peer sent an invalid message

func (*Peer) AddressPort 

func (p *Peer) AddressPort() string

func (*Peer) Init 

func (p *Peer) Init(address string, port string, quality int32, peerType uint8, connections int) *Peer

func (*Peer) IsSamePeerAs 

func (p *Peer) IsSamePeerAs(netAddress net.Addr) bool

func (*Peer) IsSpecial 

func (p *Peer) IsSpecial() bool

func (*Peer) LastSource 

func (p *Peer) LastSource() (result string)

gets the last source where this peer was seen

func (*Peer) LocationFromAddress 

func (p *Peer) LocationFromAddress() (location uint32)

TODO Hadn't considered IPV6 address support. TODO Need to audit all the net code to check IPv6 addresses Here's an IPv6 conversion: Ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23297141/golang-net-ip-to-ipv6-from-mysql-as-decimal39-0-conversion 

func ipv6ToInt(IPv6Addr net.IP) *big.Int {
    IPv6Int := big.NewInt(0)
    IPv6Int.SetBytes(IPv6Addr)
    return IPv6Int
}

Problem is we're working with string addresses, may never have made a connection. TODO - we might have a DNS address, not iP address and need to resolve it! locationFromAddress converts the peers address into a uint32 "location" numeric
