Transports, upgrades, multiplexing and node handling of libp2p.
The main concepts of libp2p-core are:
- The
Transporttrait defines how to reach a remote node or listen for incoming remote connections. See thetransportmodule. - The
StreamMuxertrait is implemented on structs that hold a connection to a remote and can subdivide this connection into multiple substreams. See themuxingmodule. - The
UpgradeInfo,InboundUpgradeandOutboundUpgradetraits define how to upgrade each individual substream to use a protocol. See theupgrademodule.
