const MessageSizeMax = 1 << 22 // 4 MB

MessageSizeMax is a soft (recommended) maximum for network messages. One can write more, as the interface is a stream. But it is useful to bunch it up into multiple read/writes when the whole message is a single, large serialized object.

Variables

View Source
var DialPeerTimeout = 60 * time.Second

DialPeerTimeout is the default timeout for a single call to `DialPeer`. When there are multiple concurrent calls to `DialPeer`, this timeout will apply to each independently.

View Source
var ErrLimitedConn = errors.New("limited connection to peer")

ErrLimitedConn is returned when attempting to open a stream to a peer with only a conn connection, without specifying the AllowLimitedConn option.

View Source
var ErrNoConn = errors.New("no usable connection to peer")

ErrNoConn is returned when attempting to open a stream to a peer with the NoDial option and no usable connection is available.

View Source
var ErrNoRemoteAddrs = errors.New("no remote addresses")

ErrNoRemoteAddrs is returned when there are no addresses associated with a peer during a dial.

View Source
var ErrReset = errors.New("stream reset")

ErrReset is returned when reading or writing on a reset stream.

View Source
var ErrResourceLimitExceeded = temporaryError("resource limit exceeded")

}

MuxedConn represents a connection to a remote peer that has been extended to support stream multiplexing.

A MuxedConn allows a single net.Conn connection to carry many logically independent bidirectional streams of binary data.

Together with network.ConnSecurity, MuxedConn is a component of the transport.CapableConn interface, which represents a "raw" network connection that has been "upgraded" to support the libp2p capabilities of secure communication and stream multiplexing.

type MuxedStream

type MuxedStream interface {
	io.Reader
	io.Writer

	// Close closes the stream.
	//
	// * Any buffered data for writing will be flushed.
	// * Future reads will fail.
	// * Any in-progress reads/writes will be interrupted.
	//
	// Close may be asynchronous and _does not_ guarantee receipt of the
	// data.
	//
	// Close closes the stream for both reading and writing.
	// Close is equivalent to calling `CloseRead` and `CloseWrite`. Importantly, Close will not wait for any form of acknowledgment.
	// If acknowledgment is required, the caller must call `CloseWrite`, then wait on the stream for a response (or an EOF),
	// then call Close() to free the stream object.
	//
	// When done with a stream, the user must call either Close() or `Reset()` to discard the stream, even after calling `CloseRead` and/or `CloseWrite`.
	io.Closer

	// CloseWrite closes the stream for writing but leaves it open for
	// reading.
	//
	// CloseWrite does not free the stream, users must still call Close or
	// Reset.
	CloseWrite() error

	// CloseRead closes the stream for reading but leaves it open for
	// writing.
	//
	// When CloseRead is called, all in-progress Read calls are interrupted with a non-EOF error and
	// no further calls to Read will succeed.
	//
	// The handling of new incoming data on the stream after calling this function is implementation defined.
	//
	// CloseRead does not free the stream, users must still call Close or
	// Reset.
	CloseRead() error

	// Reset closes both ends of the stream. Use this to tell the remote
	// side to hang up and go away.
	Reset() error

	SetDeadline(time.Time) error
	SetReadDeadline(time.Time) error
	SetWriteDeadline(time.Time) error
}

	// A Cone NAT is a NAT where all outgoing connections from the same source IP address and port are mapped by the NAT device
	// to the same IP address and port irrespective of the destination address.
	// With regards to RFC 3489, this could be either a Full Cone NAT, a Restricted Cone NAT or a
	// Port Restricted Cone NAT. However, we do NOT differentiate between them here and simply classify all such NATs as a Cone NAT.
	// NAT traversal with hole punching is possible with a Cone NAT ONLY if the remote peer is ALSO behind a Cone NAT.
	// If the remote peer is behind a Symmetric NAT, hole punching will fail.
	NATDeviceTypeCone

	// NATDeviceTypeSymmetric indicates that the NAT device is a Symmetric NAT.
	// A Symmetric NAT maps outgoing connections with different destination addresses to different IP addresses and ports,
	// even if they originate from the same source IP address and port.

ResourceManager is the interface to the network resource management subsystem. The ResourceManager tracks and accounts for resource usage in the stack, from the internals to the application, and provides a mechanism to limit resource usage according to a user configurable policy.

Resource Management through the ResourceManager is based on the concept of Resource Management Scopes, whereby resource usage is constrained by a DAG of scopes, The following diagram illustrates the structure of the resource constraint DAG: System

+------------> Transient.............+................+
|                                    .                .
+------------>  Service------------- . ----------+    .
|                                    .           |    .
+------------->  Protocol----------- . ----------+    .
|                                    .           |    .
+-------------->  Peer               \           |    .
                   +------------> Connection     |    .
                   |                             \    \
                   +--------------------------->  Stream

The basic resources accounted by the ResourceManager include memory, streams, connections, and file descriptors. These account for both space and time used by the stack, as each resource has a direct effect on the system availability and performance.

The modus operandi of the resource manager is to restrict resource usage at the time of reservation. When a component of the stack needs to use a resource, it reserves it in the appropriate scope. The resource manager gates the reservation against the scope applicable limits; if the limit is exceeded, then an error (wrapping ErrResourceLimitExceeded) and it is up the component to act accordingly. At the lower levels of the stack, this will normally signal a failure of some sorts, like failing to opening a stream or a connection, which will propagate to the programmer. Some components may be able to handle resource reservation failure more gracefully; for instance a muxer trying to grow a buffer for a window change, will simply retain the existing window size and continue to operate normally albeit with some degraded throughput. All resources reserved in some scope are released when the scope is closed. For low level scopes, mainly Connection and Stream scopes, this happens when the connection or stream is closed.

Service programmers will typically use the resource manager to reserve memory for their subsystem. This happens with two avenues: the programmer can attach a stream to a service, whereby resources reserved by the stream are automatically accounted in the service budget; or the programmer may directly interact with the service scope, by using ViewService through the resource manager interface.

Application programmers can also directly reserve memory in some applicable scope. In order to facilitate control flow delimited resource accounting, all scopes defined in the system allow for the user to create spans. Spans are temporary scopes rooted at some other scope and release their resources when the programmer is done with them. Span scopes can form trees, with nested spans.

Typical Usage:

  • Low level components of the system (transports, muxers) all have access to the resource manager and create connection and stream scopes through it. These scopes are accessible to the user, albeit with a narrower interface, through Conn and Stream objects who have a Scope method.
  • Services typically center around streams, where the programmer can attach streams to a particular service. They can also directly reserve memory for a service by accessing the service scope using the ResourceManager interface.
  • Applications that want to account for their network resource usage can reserve memory, typically using a span, directly in the System or a Service scope; they can also opt to use appropriate stream scopes for streams that they create or own.

User Serviceable Parts: the user has the option to specify their own implementation of the interface. We provide a canonical implementation in the go-libp2p-resource-manager package. The user of that package can specify limits for the various scopes, which can be static or dynamic.

WARNING The ResourceManager interface is considered experimental and subject to change in subsequent releases.

type ResourceScope

	//
	// The priority argument indicates the priority of the memory reservation. A reservation
	// will fail if the available memory is less than (1+prio)/256 of the scope limit, providing
	// a mechanism to gracefully handle optional reservations that might overload the system.
	// For instance, a muxer growing a window buffer will use a low priority and only grow the buffer
	// if there is no memory pressure in the system.
	//
	// There are 4 predefined priority levels, Low, Medium, High and Always,
	// capturing common patterns, but the user is free to use any granularity applicable to his case.
	ReserveMemory(size int, prio uint8) error

	// ReleaseMemory explicitly releases memory previously reserved with ReserveMemory
	ReleaseMemory(size int)

	// Stat retrieves current resource usage for the scope.
	Stat() ScopeStat

	// BeginSpan creates a new span scope rooted at this scope
	BeginSpan() (ResourceScopeSpan, error)
}

ResourceScope is the interface for all scopes.

type ResourceScopeSpan

type ResourceScopeSpan interface {
	ResourceScope
	// Done ends the span and releases associated resources.
	Done()
}

ResourceScopeSpan is a ResourceScope with a delimited span. Span scopes are control flow delimited and release all their associated resources when the programmer calls Done.

Example:

s, err := someScope.BeginSpan()
if err != nil { ... }
defer s.Done()

if err := s.ReserveMemory(...); err != nil { ... }
// ... use memory

type ResourceScopeViewer

type ResourceScopeViewer interface {
	// ViewSystem views the system-wide resource scope.
	// The system scope is the top level scope that accounts for global
	// resource usage at all levels of the system. This scope constrains all
	// other scopes and institutes global hard limits.
	ViewSystem(func(ResourceScope) error) error

	// ViewTransient views the transient (DMZ) resource scope.
	// The transient scope accounts for resources that are in the process of
	// full establishment. For instance, a new connection prior to the
	// handshake does not belong to any peer, but it still needs to be
	// constrained as this opens an avenue for attacks in transient resource
	// usage. Similarly, a stream that has not negotiated a protocol yet is
	// constrained by the transient scope.
	ViewTransient(func(ResourceScope) error) error

	// ViewService retrieves a service-specific scope.
	ViewService(string, func(ServiceScope) error) error

	// ViewProtocol views the resource management scope for a specific protocol.
	ViewProtocol(protocol.ID, func(ProtocolScope) error) error

	// ViewPeer views the resource management scope for a specific peer.
	ViewPeer(peer.ID, func(PeerScope) error) error
}

ResourceScopeViewer is a mixin interface providing view methods for accessing top level scopes.

type ScopeStat

type ScopeStat struct {
	NumStreamsInbound  int
	NumStreamsOutbound int
	NumConnsInbound    int
	NumConnsOutbound   int
	NumFD              int

	Memory int64
}

ScopeStat is a struct containing resource accounting information.

type ServiceScope

type ServiceScope interface {
	ResourceScope

	// Name returns the name of this service
	Name() string
}

ServiceScope is the interface for service resource scopes

type Stats

type Stats struct {
	// Direction specifies whether this is an inbound or an outbound connection.
	Direction Direction
	// Opened is the timestamp when this connection was opened.
	Opened time.Time
	// Limited indicates that this connection is Limited. It maybe limited by
	// bytes or time. In practice, this is a connection formed over a circuit v2
	// relay.
	Limited bool
	// Extra stores additional metadata about this connection.
	Extra map[interface{}]interface{}
}

Stats stores metadata pertaining to a given Stream / Conn.

type Stream

type Stream interface {
	MuxedStream

	// ID returns an identifier that uniquely identifies this Stream within this
	// host, during this run. Stream IDs may repeat across restarts.
	ID() string

	Protocol() protocol.ID
	SetProtocol(id protocol.ID) error

	// Stat returns metadata pertaining to this stream.
	Stat() Stats

	// Conn returns the connection this stream is part of.
	Conn() Conn

	// Scope returns the user's view of this stream's resource scope
	Scope() StreamScope
}

Stream represents a bidirectional channel between two agents in a libp2p network. "agent" is as granular as desired, potentially being a "request -> reply" pair, or whole protocols.

Streams are backed by a multiplexer underneath the hood.

type StreamHandler

type StreamHandler func(Stream)

StreamHandler is the type of function used to listen for streams opened by the remote side.

type StreamManagementScope

type StreamManagementScope interface {
	ResourceScopeSpan

	// ProtocolScope returns the protocol resource scope associated with this stream.
	// It returns nil if the stream is not associated with any protocol scope.
	ProtocolScope() ProtocolScope
	// SetProtocol sets the protocol for a previously unnegotiated stream
	SetProtocol(proto protocol.ID) error

	// ServiceScope returns the service owning the stream, if any.
	ServiceScope() ServiceScope
	// SetService sets the service owning this stream.
	SetService(srv string) error

	// PeerScope returns the peer resource scope associated with this stream.
	PeerScope() PeerScope
}

StreamManagementScope is the interface for stream resource scopes. This interface is used by the low level components of the system who create and own the span of a stream scope.

type StreamScope

type StreamScope interface {
	ResourceScope

	// SetService sets the service owning this stream.
	SetService(srv string) error
}

StreamScope is the user view of a StreamScope.
