//! Gossipsub is a P2P pubsub (publish/subscription) routing layer designed to extend upon
//! floodsub and meshsub routing protocols.
//!
//! # Overview
//!
//! *Note: The gossipsub protocol specifications
//! (https://github.com/libp2p/specs/tree/master/pubsub/gossipsub) provide an outline for the
//! routing protocol. They should be consulted for further detail.*
//!
//! Gossipsub  is a blend of meshsub for data and randomsub for mesh metadata. It provides bounded
//! degree and amplification factor with the meshsub construction and augments it using gossip
//! propagation of metadata with the randomsub technique.
//!
//! The router maintains an overlay mesh network of peers on which to efficiently send messages and
//! metadata.  Peers use control messages to broadcast and request known messages and
//! subscribe/unsubscribe from topics in the mesh network.
//!
//! # Important Discrepancies
//!
//! This section outlines the current implementation's potential discrepancies from that of other
//! implementations, due to undefined elements in the current specification.
//!
//! - **Topics** -  In gossipsub, topics configurable by the `hash_topics` configuration parameter.
//! Topics are of type [`TopicHash`]. The current go implementation uses raw utf-8 strings, and this
//! is default configuration in rust-libp2p. Topics can be hashed (SHA256 hashed then base64
//! encoded) by setting the `hash_topics` configuration parameter to true.
//!
//! - **Sequence Numbers** - A message on the gossipsub network is identified by the source
//! [`mwc_libp2p_core::PeerId`] and a nonce (sequence number) of the message. The sequence numbers in
//! this implementation are sent as raw bytes across the wire. They are 64-bit big-endian unsigned
//! integers. They are chosen at random in this implementation of gossipsub, but are sequential in
//! the current go implementation.
//!
//! # Using Gossipsub
//!
//! ## GossipsubConfig
//!
//! The [`GossipsubConfig`] struct specifies various network performance/tuning configuration
//! parameters. Specifically it specifies:
//!
//! [`GossipsubConfig`]: struct.Config.html
//!
//! This struct implements the [`Default`] trait and can be initialised via
//! [`GossipsubConfig::default()`].
//!
//!
//! ## Gossipsub
//!
//! The [`Gossipsub`] struct implements the [`mwc_libp2p_swarm::NetworkBehaviour`] trait allowing it to
//! act as the routing behaviour in a [`mwc_libp2p_swarm::Swarm`]. This struct requires an instance of
//! [`mwc_libp2p_core::PeerId`] and [`GossipsubConfig`].
//!
//! [`Gossipsub`]: struct.Gossipsub.html

//! ## Example
//!
//! An example of initialising a gossipsub compatible swarm:
//!
//! ```
//! use mwc_libp2p_gossipsub::GossipsubEvent;
//! use mwc_libp2p_core::{identity::Keypair,transport::{Transport, MemoryTransport}, Multiaddr};
//! use mwc_libp2p_gossipsub::MessageAuthenticity;
//! let local_key = Keypair::generate_ed25519();
//! let local_peer_id = mwc_libp2p_core::PeerId::from_public_key(local_key.public());
//!
//! // Set up an encrypted TCP Transport over the Mplex
//! // This is test transport (memory).
//! let noise_keys = mwc_libp2p_noise::Keypair::<mwc_libp2p_noise::X25519Spec>::new().into_authentic(&local_key).unwrap();
//! let transport = MemoryTransport::default()
//!            .upgrade(mwc_libp2p_core::upgrade::Version::V1)
//!            .authenticate(mwc_libp2p_noise::NoiseConfig::xx(noise_keys).into_authenticated())
//!            .multiplex(mwc_libp2p_mplex::MplexConfig::new())
//!            .boxed();
//!
//! // Create a Gossipsub topic
//! let topic = mwc_libp2p_gossipsub::IdentTopic::new("example");
//!
//! // Set the message authenticity - How we expect to publish messages
//! // Here we expect the publisher to sign the message with their key.
//! let message_authenticity = MessageAuthenticity::Signed(local_key);
//!
//! // Create a Swarm to manage peers and events
//! let mut swarm = {
//!     // set default parameters for gossipsub
//!     let gossipsub_config = mwc_libp2p_gossipsub::GossipsubConfig::default();
//!     // build a gossipsub network behaviour
//!     let mut gossipsub: mwc_libp2p_gossipsub::Gossipsub =
//!         mwc_libp2p_gossipsub::Gossipsub::new(message_authenticity, gossipsub_config).unwrap();
//!     // subscribe to the topic
//!     gossipsub.subscribe(&topic);
//!     // create the swarm
//!     mwc_libp2p_swarm::Swarm::new(
//!         transport,
//!         gossipsub,
//!         local_peer_id,
//!     )
//! };
//!
//! // Listen on a memory transport.
//! let memory: Multiaddr = mwc_libp2p_core::multiaddr::Protocol::Memory(10).into();
//! let addr = mwc_libp2p_swarm::Swarm::listen_on(&mut swarm, memory).unwrap();
//! println!("Listening on {:?}", addr);
//! ```
