pub struct KademliaConfig { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

The configuration for the Kademlia behaviour.

The configuration is consumed by Kademlia::new.

Implementations§

Sets custom protocol names.

Kademlia nodes only communicate with other nodes using the same protocol name. Using custom name(s) therefore allows to segregate the DHT from others, if that is desired.

More than one protocol name can be supplied. In this case the node will be able to talk to other nodes supporting any of the provided names. Multiple names must be used with caution to avoid network partitioning.

Sets the timeout for a single query.

Note: A single query usually comprises at least as many requests as the replication factor, i.e. this is not a request timeout.

The default is 60 seconds.

Sets the replication factor to use.

The replication factor determines to how many closest peers a record is replicated. The default is K_VALUE.

Sets the allowed level of parallelism for iterative queries.

The α parameter in the Kademlia paper. The maximum number of peers that an iterative query is allowed to wait for in parallel while iterating towards the closest nodes to a target. Defaults to ALPHA_VALUE.

This only controls the level of parallelism of an iterative query, not the level of parallelism of a query to a fixed set of peers.

When used with KademliaConfig::disjoint_query_paths it equals the amount of disjoint paths used.

Require iterative queries to use disjoint paths for increased resiliency in the presence of potentially adversarial nodes.

When enabled the number of disjoint paths used equals the configured parallelism.

See the S/Kademlia paper for more information on the high level design as well as its security improvements.

Sets the TTL for stored records.

The TTL should be significantly longer than the (re-)publication interval, to avoid premature expiration of records. The default is 36 hours.

None means records never expire.

Does not apply to provider records.

Sets whether or not records should be filtered before being stored.

See KademliaStoreInserts for the different values. Defaults to KademliaStoreInserts::Unfiltered.

Sets the (re-)replication interval for stored records.

Periodic replication of stored records ensures that the records are always replicated to the available nodes closest to the key in the context of DHT topology changes (i.e. nodes joining and leaving), thus ensuring persistence until the record expires. Replication does not prolong the regular lifetime of a record (for otherwise it would live forever regardless of the configured TTL). The expiry of a record is only extended through re-publication.

This interval should be significantly shorter than the publication interval, to ensure persistence between re-publications. The default is 1 hour.

None means that stored records are never re-replicated.

Does not apply to provider records.

Sets the (re-)publication interval of stored records.

Records persist in the DHT until they expire. By default, published records are re-published in regular intervals for as long as the record exists in the local storage of the original publisher, thereby extending the records lifetime.

This interval should be significantly shorter than the record TTL, to ensure records do not expire prematurely. The default is 24 hours.

None means that stored records are never automatically re-published.

Does not apply to provider records.

Sets the TTL for provider records.

None means that stored provider records never expire.

Must be significantly larger than the provider publication interval.

Sets the interval at which provider records for keys provided by the local node are re-published.

None means that stored provider records are never automatically re-published.

Must be significantly less than the provider record TTL.

Sets the amount of time to keep connections alive when they’re idle.

Modifies the maximum allowed size of individual Kademlia packets.

It might be necessary to increase this value if trying to put large records.

Sets the k-bucket insertion strategy for the Kademlia routing table.

Sets the KademliaCaching strategy to use for successful lookups.

The default is KademliaCaching::Enabled with a max_peers of 1. Hence, with default settings and a lookup quorum of 1, a successful lookup will result in the record being cached at the closest node to the key that did not return the record, i.e. the standard Kademlia behaviour.
