Insolar – Host Network

Physical networking layer

Go Report Card GoDoc

Overview

We took Kademlia DHT original specifications and made significant improvements to make it ready for real world application by enterprises.

Key features of our blockchain network layer:
  • Support of heterogeneous network topology with different types of nodes being able to communicate with each other. In classic peer-to-peer networks, any node can communicate directly with any other node on the network. In a real enterprise environment, this condition is often unacceptable for a variety of reasons including security.
  • Network routing with a node or node group becoming relays for others nodes. The network can continue to function despite various network restrictions such as firewalls, NATs, etc.
  • Ability to limit number of gateways to corporate node group via relays to keep the node group secure while being able to interact with the rest of the network through relays. This feature mitigates the risk of DDoS attacks.

Key components

Transport

Network transport interface. It allows to abstract our network from physical transport. It can either be IP based network or any other kind of message courier (e.g. an industrial message bus).

Node

Node is a fundamental part of networking system. Each node has:

  • one real network address (IP or any other transport protocol address)
  • multiple abstract network IDs (either node's own or ones belonging to relayed nodes)
Routing

It is actually a Kademlia hash table used to store network nodes and calculate distances between them. See Kademlia whitepaper and XLattice design specification for details.

Message

A set of data transferred by this module between nodes.

  • Request message
  • Response message

Now messages are serialized simply with encoding/gob. In future there will be a powerful robust serialization system based on Google's Protocol Buffers.

RPC

RPC module allows higher level components to register methods that can be called by other network nodes.

Usage

package main

import (
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/network/host"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/network/host/connection"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/network/host/node"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/network/host/relay"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/network/host/resolver"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/network/host/rpc"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/network/host/store"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/network/host/transport"
)

func main() {
	configuration := host.NewNetworkConfiguration(
		resolver.NewStunResolver(""),
		connection.NewConnectionFactory(),
		transport.NewUTPTransportFactory(),
		store.NewMemoryStoreFactory(),
		rpc.NewRPCFactory(map[string]rpc.RemoteProcedure{}),
		relay.NewProxy())

	dhtNetwork, err := configuration.CreateNetwork("0.0.0.0:31337", &host.Options{})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer configuration.CloseNetwork()

	dhtNetwork.Listen()
}

Overview

Package host is an implementation of Kademlia DHT. It is mostly based on original specification but has multiple backward-incompatible changes.

Usage: 

package main

import (
	"github.com/insolar/insolar"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/connection"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/node"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/relay"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/resolver"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/rpc"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/store"
	"github.com/insolar/insolar/transport"
)

func main() {
	configuration := insolar.NewNetworkConfiguration(
		resolver.NewStunResolver(""),
		connection.NewConnectionFactory(),
		transport.NewUTPTransportFactory(),
		store.NewMemoryStoreFactory(),
		rpc.NewRPCFactory(map[string]rpc.RemoteProcedure{}),
		relay.NewProxy())

	dhtNetwork, err := configuration.CreateNetwork("0.0.0.0:31337", &insolar.Options{})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer configuration.CloseNetwork()

	dhtNetwork.Listen()
}

Types

type Configuration 

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

Configuration is a helper to initialize insolar easily.

func NewNetworkConfiguration 

func NewNetworkConfiguration(
	addressResolver resolver.PublicAddressResolver,
	connectionFactory connection.Factory,
	transportFactory transport.Factory,
	storeFactory store.Factory,
	rpcFactory rpc.Factory,
	proxy relay.Proxy,
) *Configuration

NewNetworkConfiguration creates new Configuration.

func (*Configuration) CloseNetwork 

func (cfg *Configuration) CloseNetwork() error

CloseNetwork stops networking.

func (*Configuration) CreateNetwork 

func (cfg *Configuration) CreateNetwork(address string, options *Options) (*DHT, error)

CreateNetwork creates and returns DHT insolar with parameters stored in Configuration.

type Context 

type Context context.Context

Context type is localized for future purposes. Network Node can have multiple IDs, but each action must be executed with only one ID. Context is used in all actions to select specific ID to work with.

type ContextBuilder 

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

ContextBuilder allows to lazy configure and build new Context.

func NewContextBuilder 

func NewContextBuilder(dht *DHT) ContextBuilder

NewContextBuilder creates new ContextBuilder.

func (ContextBuilder) Build 

func (cb ContextBuilder) Build() (ctx Context, err error)

Build builds and returns new Context.

func (ContextBuilder) SetDefaultNode 

func (cb ContextBuilder) SetDefaultNode() ContextBuilder

SetDefaultNode sets first node id in Context.

func (ContextBuilder) SetNodeByID 

func (cb ContextBuilder) SetNodeByID(nodeID node.ID) ContextBuilder

SetNodeByID sets node id in Context.

type DHT 

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

DHT represents the state of the local node in the distributed hash table.

func NewDHT 

func NewDHT(store store.Store, origin *node.Origin, transport transport.Transport, rpc rpc.RPC, options *Options, proxy relay.Proxy) (dht *DHT, err error)

NewDHT initializes a new DHT node.

func (*DHT) Bootstrap 

func (dht *DHT) Bootstrap() error

Bootstrap attempts to bootstrap the insolar using the BootstrapNodes provided to the Options struct. This will trigger an iterateBootstrap to the provided BootstrapNodes.

	// The nodes being used to bootstrap the insolar. Without a bootstrap
	// node there is no way to connect to the insolar. NetworkNodes can be
	// initialized via insolar.NewNode().
	BootstrapNodes []*node.Node

	// The time after which a key/value pair expires;
	// this is a time-to-live (TTL) from the original publication date.
