Types

type Protocol

type Protocol struct {
	log.Log
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Protocol runs the gossip protocol using the given peers and service.

func NewProtocol

func NewProtocol(config config.SwarmConfig, base baseNetwork, localNodePubkey p2pcrypto.PublicKey, log2 log.Log) *Protocol

NewProtocol creates a new gossip protocol instance.

func (*Protocol) Broadcast

func (prot *Protocol) Broadcast(payload []byte, nextProt string) error

Broadcast is the actual broadcast procedure - process the message internally and loop on peers and add the message to their queues

func (*Protocol) Close

func (prot *Protocol) Close()

Close stops all protocol routines.

func (*Protocol) Relay

func (prot *Protocol) Relay(sender p2pcrypto.PublicKey, protocol string, msg service.Data) error

Relay processes a message, if the message is new, it is passed for the protocol to validate and then propagated.

func (*Protocol) SetPriority

func (prot *Protocol) SetPriority(protoName string, priority priorityq.Priority)

SetPriority sets the priority for protoName in the queue.

func (*Protocol) Start

func (prot *Protocol) Start()

Start a loop that process peers events
