Package addrmgr implements concurrency safe Decred address manager.
Address Manager Overview ¶
In order maintain the peer-to-peer Decred network, there needs to be a source of addresses to connect to as nodes come and go. The Decred protocol provides the getaddr and addr messages to allow peers to communicate known addresses with each other. However, there needs to a mechanism to store those results and select peers from them. It is also important to note that remote peers can't be trusted to send valid peers nor attempt to provide you with only peers they control with malicious intent.
With that in mind, this package provides a concurrency safe address manager for caching and selecting peers in a non-deterministic manner. The general idea is the caller adds addresses to the address manager and notifies it when addresses are connected, known good, and attempted. The caller also requests addresses as it needs them.
The address manager internally segregates the addresses into groups and non-deterministically selects groups in a cryptographically random manner. This reduce the chances multiple addresses from the same nets are selected which generally helps provide greater peer diversity, and perhaps more importantly, drastically reduces the chances an attacker is able to coerce your peer into only connecting to nodes they control.
The address manager also understands routability and Tor addresses and tries hard to only return routable addresses. In addition, it uses the information provided by the caller about connected, known good, and attempted addresses to periodically purge peers which no longer appear to be good peers as well as bias the selection toward known good peers. The general idea is to make a best effort at only providing usable addresses.

Functions ¶
func IsRoutable ¶
IsRoutable returns whether or not the passed address is routable over the public internet. This is true as long as the address is valid and is not in any reserved ranges.
Types ¶
type AddrManager ¶
type AddrManager struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
AddrManager provides a concurrency safe address manager for caching potential peers on the Decred network.
func New ¶
New constructs a new address manager instance. Use Start to begin processing asynchronous address updates. The address manager uses lookupFunc for necessary DNS lookups.
func (*AddrManager) AddAddresses ¶
func (a *AddrManager) AddAddresses(addrs []*NetAddress, srcAddr *NetAddress)
AddAddresses adds new addresses to the address manager. It enforces a max number of addresses and silently ignores duplicate addresses.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) AddLocalAddress ¶
func (a *AddrManager) AddLocalAddress(na *NetAddress, priority AddressPriority) error
AddLocalAddress adds na to the list of known local addresses to advertise with the given priority.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) AddressCache ¶
func (a *AddrManager) AddressCache() []*NetAddress
AddressCache returns a randomized subset of all known addresses.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) Attempt ¶
func (a *AddrManager) Attempt(addr *NetAddress) error
Attempt increases the provided known address' attempt counter and updates the last attempt time. If the address is unknown then an error is returned.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) Connected ¶
func (a *AddrManager) Connected(addr *NetAddress) error
Connected marks the provided known address as connected and working at the current time. If the address is unknown then an error is returned.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) GetAddress ¶
func (a *AddrManager) GetAddress() *KnownAddress
GetAddress returns a single address that should be routable. It picks a random one from the possible addresses with preference given to ones that have not been used recently and should not pick 'close' addresses consecutively.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) GetBestLocalAddress ¶
func (a *AddrManager) GetBestLocalAddress(remoteAddr *NetAddress) *NetAddress
GetBestLocalAddress returns the most appropriate local address to use for the given remote address.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) Good ¶
func (a *AddrManager) Good(addr *NetAddress) error
Good marks the provided known address as good. This should be called after a successful outbound connection and version exchange with a peer. If the address is unknown then an error is returned.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) HasLocalAddress ¶
func (a *AddrManager) HasLocalAddress(na *NetAddress) bool
HasLocalAddress asserts if the manager has the provided local address.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) HostToNetAddress ¶
func (a *AddrManager) HostToNetAddress(host string, port uint16, services wire.ServiceFlag) (*NetAddress, error)
HostToNetAddress parses and returns a network address given a hostname in a supported format (IPv4, IPv6, TORv2). If the hostname cannot be immediately converted from a known address format, it will be resolved using the lookup function provided to the address manager. If it cannot be resolved, an error is returned.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) LocalAddresses ¶
func (a *AddrManager) LocalAddresses() []LocalAddr
LocalAddresses returns a summary of local addresses information for the getnetworkinfo rpc.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) NeedMoreAddresses ¶
func (a *AddrManager) NeedMoreAddresses() bool
NeedMoreAddresses returns whether or not the address manager needs more addresses.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) SetServices ¶
func (a *AddrManager) SetServices(addr *NetAddress, services wire.ServiceFlag) error
SetServices sets the services for the provided known address to the provided value. If the address is unknown then an error is returned.
func (*AddrManager) Start ¶
func (a *AddrManager) Start()
Start begins the core address handler which manages a pool of known addresses, timeouts, and interval based writes. If the address manager is starting or has already been started, invoking this method has no effect.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) Stop ¶
func (a *AddrManager) Stop() error
Stop gracefully shuts down the address manager by stopping the main handler.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
func (*AddrManager) ValidatePeerNa ¶
func (a *AddrManager) ValidatePeerNa(localAddr, remoteAddr *NetAddress) (bool, NetAddressReach)
ValidatePeerNa returns the validity and reachability of the provided local address based on its routablility and reachability from the peer that suggested it.
This function is safe for concurrent access.
type AddressPriority ¶
type AddressPriority int
AddressPriority type is used to describe the hierarchy of local address discovery methods.
const ( // InterfacePrio signifies the address is on a local interface InterfacePrio AddressPriority = iota // BoundPrio signifies the address has been explicitly bounded to. BoundPrio // UpnpPrio signifies the address was obtained from UPnP. UpnpPrio // HTTPPrio signifies the address was obtained from an external HTTP service. HTTPPrio // ManualPrio signifies the address was provided by --externalip. ManualPrio )
type Error ¶
Error identifies an address manager error. It has full support for errors.Is and errors.As, so the caller can ascertain the specific reason for the error by checking the underlying error.
type ErrorKind ¶
type ErrorKind string
ErrorKind identifies a kind of error. It has full support for errors.Is and errors.As, so the caller can directly check against an error kind when determining the reason for an error.
type KnownAddress ¶
type KnownAddress struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
KnownAddress tracks information about a known network address that is used to determine how viable an address is.
func (*KnownAddress) LastAttempt ¶
func (ka *KnownAddress) LastAttempt() time.Time
LastAttempt returns the last time the known address was attempted.
func (*KnownAddress) NetAddress ¶
func (ka *KnownAddress) NetAddress() *NetAddress
NetAddress returns the underlying wire.NetAddress associated with the known address.
type NetAddress ¶
type NetAddress struct { // IP address of the peer. It is defined as a byte array to support various // address types that are not standard to the net module and therefore not // entirely appropriate to store as a net.IP. IP []byte // Port is the port of the remote peer. Port uint16 // Timestamp is the last time the address was seen. Timestamp time.Time // Services represents the service flags supported by this network address. Services wire.ServiceFlag }
NetAddress defines information about a peer on the network.
func NewNetAddressIPPort ¶
func NewNetAddressIPPort(ip net.IP, port uint16, services wire.ServiceFlag) *NetAddress

Clone creates a shallow copy of the NetAddress instance. The IP reference is shared since it is not mutated.
func (*NetAddress) GroupKey ¶
func (na *NetAddress) GroupKey() string
GroupKey returns a string representing the network group an address is part of. This is the /16 for IPv4, the /32 (/36 for he.net) for IPv6, the string "local" for a local address, the string "tor:key" where key is the /4 of the onion address for Tor address, and the string "unroutable" for an unroutable address.

type NetAddressReach int
NetAddressReach represents the connection state between two addresses.
const ( // Unreachable represents a publicly unreachable connection state // between two addresses. Unreachable NetAddressReach = 0 // Default represents the default connection state between // two addresses. Default NetAddressReach = iota // Teredo represents a connection state between two RFC4380 addresses. Teredo // Ipv6Weak represents a weak IPV6 connection state between two // addresses. Ipv6Weak // Ipv4 represents an IPV4 connection state between two addresses. Ipv4 // Ipv6Strong represents a connection state between two IPV6 addresses.
