[−][src]Module libp2p::core

Transports, upgrades, multiplexing and node handling of libp2p.

The main concepts of libp2p-core are:

A [PeerId] is a unique global identifier for a node on the network. Each node must have a different PeerId. Normally, a PeerId is the hash of the public key used to negotiate encryption on the communication channel, thereby guaranteeing that they cannot be spoofed.
The [Transport] trait defines how to reach a remote node or listen for incoming remote connections. See the transport module.
The [StreamMuxer] trait is implemented on structs that hold a connection to a remote and can subdivide this connection into multiple substreams. See the muxing module.
The [UpgradeInfo], [InboundUpgrade] and [OutboundUpgrade] traits define how to upgrade each individual substream to use a protocol. See the upgrade module.

Modules

identity	A node's network identity keys.
multiaddr
muxing	Muxing is the process of splitting a connection into multiple substreams.
nodes	Low-level networking primitives.
transport	Connection-oriented communication channels.
upgrade	Contains everything related to upgrading a connection or a substream to use a protocol.

Identifier of a peer of the network.

ConnectedPoint	How we connected to a node.
Endpoint

Perform IP address translation.
