pub struct Party { /* private fields */ }

A Party that takes part in a protocol. The party has a unique id and is pre-loaded with communication channels to and from all the other parties. A party keeps track of its own stats.

Implementations

impl Party

pub fn receive(&mut self, from_id: &usize) -> Vec<u8>

Blocks until this party receives a message from the party with from_id. A message is a vector of bytes Vec<u8>. This can be achieved for example using bincode serialization.

pub fn send(&mut self, message: &[u8], to_id: &usize)

Sends a vector of bytes to the party with to_id and keeps track of the number of bits sent to this party.

pub fn broadcast(&mut self, message: &[u8])

Broadcasts a message (a vector of bytes) to all parties and keeps track of the number of bits sent.

impl Party

pub fn create_timer(&self, name: &str) -> Timer

Creates a timer with the given name that starts running immediately.

pub fn stop_timer(&mut self, timer: Timer)

Stops the timer and writes it measured duration to this party’s statistics.

pub fn get_stats(self) -> PartyStats

Gets the collected statistics for this party.

impl Party

pub fn set_name(&mut self, name: String)

Sets an actual name for a party to make the stats easier to interpret.
