I think it's time to move a lot of the peer-to-peer networking
but-not-ipfs-specific things into its own package: p2p.
This could in the future be split off into its own library.
The first thing to go is the peer.
this is a major refactor of the entire codebase
it changes the monolithic peer.Peer into using
a peer.ID and a peer.Peerstore.
Other changes:
- removed handshake3.
- testutil vastly simplified peer
- secio bugfix + debugging logs
- testutil: RandKeyPair
- backpressure bugfix: w.o.w.
- peer: added hex enc/dec
- peer: added a PeerInfo struct
PeerInfo is a small struct used to pass around a peer with
a set of addresses and keys. This is not meant to be a
complete view of the system, but rather to model updates to
the peerstore. It is used by things like the routing system.
- updated peer/queue + peerset
- latency metrics
- testutil: use crand for PeerID gen
RandPeerID generates random "valid" peer IDs. it does not
NEED to generate keys because it is as if we lost the key
right away. fine to read some randomness and hash it. to
generate proper keys and an ID, use:
sk, pk, _ := testutil.RandKeyPair()
id, _ := peer.IDFromPublicKey(pk)
Also added RandPeerIDFatal helper
- removed old spipe
- updated seccat
- core: cleanup initIdentity
- removed old getFromPeerList
It's better to have one mechanism for determining whether we're offline
and to improve the SnR of this mechanism over time. We presently have
too many arbitrary heuristics for determining whether we're running in
offline mode. TRTTD is to use polymorphism to eliminate these
conditional checks. (instantiate the node with offline versions of
routing, network, etc.) It'll clean up the core constructor, make it
easier to create ephemeral nodes, and eliminate a class of errors.
