Module protocols

Module protocols

Expand description

Opt-in protocols available to the node; each protocol is expected to spawn its own task that runs throughout the node’s lifetime and handles a specific functionality. The communication with these tasks is done via dedicated handler objects.

Traits§

Disconnect
Can be used to automatically perform some extra actions when the node disconnects from its peer, which is especially practical if the disconnect is triggered automatically, e.g. due to the peer exceeding the allowed number of failures or severing its connection with the node on its own.
Handshake
Can be used to specify and enable network handshakes. Upon establishing a connection, both sides will need to adhere to the specified handshake rules in order to finalize the connection and be able to send or receive any messages.
OnConnect
Can be used to automatically perform some initial actions once the connection with a peer is fully established.
Reading
Can be used to specify and enable reading, i.e. receiving inbound messages. If the Handshake protocol is enabled too, it goes into force only after the handshake has been concluded.
Writing
Can be used to specify and enable writing, i.e. sending outbound messages. If the Handshake protocol is enabled too, it goes into force only after the handshake has been concluded.
