Bitswap

Protocol

Bitswap is the data trading module for ipfs, it manages requesting and sending blocks to and from other peers in the network. Bitswap has two main jobs, the first is to acquire blocks requested by the client from the network. The second is to judiciously send blocks in its posession to other peers who want them.

Bitswap is a message based protocol, as opposed to response-reply. All messages contain wantlists, or blocks. Upon receiving a wantlist, a node should consider sending out wanted blocks if they have them. Upon receiving blocks, the node should send out a notification called a 'Cancel' signifying that they no longer want the block. At a protocol level, bitswap is very simple.

go-ipfs Implementation

Internally, when a message with a wantlist is received, it is sent to the decision engine to be considered, and blocks that we have that are wanted are placed into the peer request queue. Any block we possess that is wanted by another peer has a task in the peer request queue created for it. The peer request queue is a priority queue that sorts available tasks by some metric, currently, that metric is very simple and aims to fairly address the tasks of each other peer. More advanced decision logic will be implemented in the future. Task workers pull tasks to be done off of the queue, retreive the block to be sent, and send it off. The number of task workers is limited by a constant factor.

Client requests for new blocks are handled by the want manager, for every new block (or set of blocks) wanted, the 'WantBlocks' method is invoked. The want manager then ensures that connected peers are notified of the new block that we want by sending the new entries to a message queue for each peer. The message queue will loop while there is work available and do the following: 1) Ensure it has a connection to its peer, 2) grab the message to be sent, and 3) send it. If new messages are added while the loop is in steps 1 or 3, the messages are combined into one to avoid having to keep an actual queue and send multiple messages. The same process occurs when the client receives a block and sends a cancel message for it.

Functions

func New 

func New(parent context.Context, p peer.ID, network bsnet.BitSwapNetwork,
	bstore blockstore.Blockstore, nice bool) exchange.Interface

New initializes a BitSwap instance that communicates over the provided BitSwapNetwork. This function registers the returned instance as the network delegate. Runs until context is cancelled.

Types

type Bitswap added in v0.3.2 

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

Bitswap instances implement the bitswap protocol.

func (*Bitswap) CancelWants added in v0.3.8 

func (bs *Bitswap) CancelWants(ks []key.Key)

CancelWant removes a given key from the wantlist

func (*Bitswap) Close added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) Close() error

func (*Bitswap) GetBlock added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) GetBlock(parent context.Context, k key.Key) (*blocks.Block, error)

GetBlock attempts to retrieve a particular block from peers within the deadline enforced by the context.

func (*Bitswap) GetBlocks added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) GetBlocks(ctx context.Context, keys []key.Key) (<-chan *blocks.Block, error)

GetBlocks returns a channel where the caller may receive blocks that correspond to the provided |keys|. Returns an error if BitSwap is unable to begin this request within the deadline enforced by the context.

NB: Your request remains open until the context expires. To conserve resources, provide a context with a reasonably short deadline (ie. not one that lasts throughout the lifetime of the server)

func (*Bitswap) GetWantlist added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) GetWantlist() []key.Key

func (*Bitswap) HasBlock added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) HasBlock(blk *blocks.Block) error

HasBlock announces the existance of a block to this bitswap service. The service will potentially notify its peers.

func (*Bitswap) PeerConnected added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) PeerConnected(p peer.ID)

Connected/Disconnected warns bitswap about peer connections

func (*Bitswap) PeerDisconnected added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) PeerDisconnected(p peer.ID)

Connected/Disconnected warns bitswap about peer connections

func (*Bitswap) ReceiveError added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) ReceiveError(err error)

func (*Bitswap) ReceiveMessage added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) ReceiveMessage(ctx context.Context, p peer.ID, incoming bsmsg.BitSwapMessage)

func (*Bitswap) Stat added in v0.3.2 

func (bs *Bitswap) Stat() (*Stat, error)

func (*Bitswap) WantlistForPeer added in v0.3.4 

func (bs *Bitswap) WantlistForPeer(p peer.ID) []key.Key

type Instance 

type Instance struct {
	Peer     peer.ID
	Exchange *Bitswap
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func Session added in v0.3.6 

func Session(ctx context.Context, net tn.Network, p testutil.Identity) Instance

session creates a test bitswap session.

NB: It's easy make mistakes by providing the same peer ID to two different sessions. To safeguard, use the SessionGenerator to generate sessions. It's just a much better idea.

func (*Instance) Blockstore 

func (i *Instance) Blockstore() blockstore.Blockstore

func (*Instance) SetBlockstoreLatency 

func (i *Instance) SetBlockstoreLatency(t time.Duration) time.Duration

type SessionGenerator 

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

TODO move this SessionGenerator to the core package and export it as the core generator

func NewTestSessionGenerator 

func NewTestSessionGenerator(
	net tn.Network) SessionGenerator

WARNING: this uses RandTestBogusIdentity DO NOT USE for NON TESTS!

func (*SessionGenerator) Close 

func (g *SessionGenerator) Close() error

func (*SessionGenerator) Instances 

func (g *SessionGenerator) Instances(n int) []Instance

func (*SessionGenerator) Next 

func (g *SessionGenerator) Next() Instance

type Stat added in v0.3.2 

type Stat struct {
	ProvideBufLen   int
	Wantlist        []key.Key
	Peers           []string
	BlocksReceived  int
	DupBlksReceived int
	DupDataReceived uint64
}

type WantManager added in v0.3.5

	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (pm *WantManager) ConnectedPeers() []peer.ID

func (*WantManager) Disconnected added in v0.3.5 

func (pm *WantManager) Disconnected(p peer.ID)

func (*WantManager) Run added in v0.3.5 

func (pm *WantManager) Run()

TODO: use goprocess here once i trust it
