Pull-Request: #4052.
Now that we have the infrastructure for notifying protocols about changes to our listen protocols, we can use this to actively push those changes to our remotes. This allows other peers to re-configure themselves with very low-latency instead of waiting for the periodic identify event.
Resolves: #3613.
Pull-Request: #3980.
Previously, a `NetworkBehaviour` could report an `AddressScore` for an external address. This score was a `u32` and addresses would be ranked amongst those.
In reality, an address is either confirmed to be publicly reachable (via a protocol such as AutoNAT) or merely represents a candidate that might be an external address. In a way, addresses are guilty (private) until proven innocent (publicly reachable).
When a `NetworkBehaviour` reports an address candidate, we perform address translation on it to potentially correct for ephemeral ports of TCP. These candidates are then injected back into the `NetworkBehaviour`. Protocols such as AutoNAT can use these addresses as a source for probing their NAT status. Once confirmed, they can emit a `ToSwarm::ExternalAddrConfirmed` event which again will be passed to all `NetworkBehaviour`s.
This simplified approach will allow us implement Kademlia's client-mode (https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/2032) without additional configuration options: As soon as an address is reported as publicly reachable, we can activate server-mode for that connection.

Pull-Request: #3954.
Previously, we used to race the two identify responses and assert the one that finished earlier. In practice, this didn't work but sometimes caused a timeout. See https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/actions/runs/4973490081/jobs/8899378998#step:7:98 for an example.
Interestingly enough, refactoring this test to always assert both responses reveals a bug! The memory transport by default behaves like TCP and allocates a new ephemeral port for an outgoing connection. I believe this was never hit because the first swarm would always receive its response first and win the race.
To assert this properly, we would have to implement port reuse for the memory transport which I think is unnecessary, hence I just commented out the assertion.
Pull-Request: #3924.
Previously, the associated types on `NetworkBehaviour` and `ConnectionHandler` carried generic names like `InEvent` and `OutEvent`. These names are _correct_ in that `OutEvent`s are passed out and `InEvent`s are passed in but they don't help users understand how these types are used.
In theory, a `ConnectionHandler` could be used separately from `NetworkBehaviour`s but that is highly unlikely. Thus, we rename these associated types to indicate, where the message is going to be sent to:
- `NetworkBehaviour::OutEvent` is renamed to `ToSwarm`: It describes the message(s) a `NetworkBehaviour` can emit to the `Swarm`. The user is going to receive those in `SwarmEvent::Behaviour`.
- `ConnectionHandler::InEvent` is renamed to `FromBehaviour`: It describes the message(s) a `ConnectionHandler` can receive from its behaviour via `ConnectionHandler::on_swarm_event`. The `NetworkBehaviour` can send it via the `ToSwarm::NotifyHandler` command.
- `ConnectionHandler::OutEvent` is renamed to `ToBehaviour`: It describes the message(s) a `ConnectionHandler` can send back to the behaviour via the now also renamed `ConnectionHandlerEvent::NotifyBehaviour` (previously `ConnectionHandlerEvent::Custom`)
Resolves: #2854.
Pull-Request: #3848.
A `ConnectionHandler` is bound to a single peer. There is no need to embed the `PeerId` in the event that we report to the behaviour, it already knows which peer the event relates to.
Pull-Request: #3895.
With this patch, implementations of `ConnectionHandler` (which are typically composed in a tree) can exchange information about the supported protocols of a remote with each other via `ConnectionHandlerEvent::ReportRemoteProtocols`. The provided `ProtocolSupport` enum can describe either additions or removals of the remote peer's protocols.
This information is aggregated in the connection and passed down to the `ConnectionHandler` via `ConnectionEvent::RemoteProtocolsChange`.
Similarly, if the listen protocols of a connection change, all `ConnectionHandler`s on the connection will be notified via `ConnectionEvent::LocalProtocolsChange`. This will allow us to eventually remove `PollParameters` from `NetworkBehaviour`.
This pattern allows protocols on a connection to communicate with each other. For example, protocols like identify can share the list of (supposedly) supported protocols by the remote with all other handlers. A protocol like kademlia can accurately add and remove a remote from its routing table as a result.

Currently, the `connection_keep_alive` function of identify does not compute anything but its return value is set through the handler state machine. This is hard to understand and causes surprising behaviour because at the moment, we set `KeepAlive::No` as soon as the remote has answered our identify request. Depending on what else is happening on the connection, this might close the connection before we have successfully answered the remote's identify request.
To fix this, we now compute `connection_keep_alive` based on whether we are still using the connection.

The currently provided `ConnectionHandlerUpgrErr` is very hard to use. Not only does it have a long name, it also features 3 levels of nesting which results in a lot of boilerplate. Last but not least, it exposes `multistream-select` as a dependency to all protocols.
We fix all of the above by renaming the type to `StreamUpgradeError` and flattening out its interface. Unrecoverable errors during protocol selection are hidden within the `Io` variant.

This removes the deprecated `IntoConnectionHandler` trait and all its implementations. Consequently, `NetworkBehaviour::new_handler` and `NetworkBehaviour::addresses_of_peer` are now gone and the two `handle_` functions are now required to implement.

This patch refactors the identify tests to use `libp2p-swarm-test`. This allows us to delete quite a bit of code and makes several dev-dependencies obsolete.
The `correct_transfer` test is made obsolete by more precise assertions in the `periodic_identify` test. This allows us to remove the dependency on the `upgrade::{apply_inbound,apply_outbound}` functions.
Finally, we also fix a bug where the reported listen addresses to the other node could contain duplicates.

Previously, a protocol could be any sequence of bytes as long as it started with `/`. Now, we directly parse a protocol as `String` which enforces it to be valid UTF8.
To notify users of this change, we delete the `ProtocolName` trait. The new requirement is that users need to provide a type that implements `AsRef<str>`.
We also add a `StreamProtocol` newtype in `libp2p-swarm` which provides an easy way for users to ensure their protocol strings are compliant. The newtype enforces that protocol strings start with `/`. `StreamProtocol` also implements `AsRef<str>`, meaning users can directly use it in their upgrades.
`multistream-select` by itself only changes marginally with this patch. The only thing we enforce in the type-system is that protocols must implement `AsRef<str>`.
Resolves: #2831.
Pull-Request: #3746.
Previously, and for unknown legacy reasons, we waited for a configurable delay (default 500ms) upon new connections before we ran the identify protocol. This unnecessarily slows down applications that wait for the identify handshake to complete before performing further actions.

Pull-Request: #3545.
Previously, we would specify the version and path of our workspace dependencies in each of our crates. This is error prone as https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/3658#discussion_r1153278072 for example shows. Problems like these happened in the past too.
There is no need for us to ever depend on a earlier version than the most current one in our crates. It thus makes sense that we manage this version in a single place.
Cargo supports a feature called "workspace inheritance" which allows us to share a dependency declaration across a workspace and inherit it with `{ workspace = true }`.
We do this for all our workspace dependencies and for the MSRV.
Resolves#3787.
Pull-Request: #3715.
Previously, we would implicitly establish a connection when the user wanted to push identify information to a peer. I believe that this is the wrong behaviour. Instead, I am suggesting to log a message that we are skipping the push to this peer.
Additionally, the way this is currently implemented does not make much sense. Dialing a peer takes time. In case we don't have a connection at all, it could be that we drop the push requests because there isn't an active handler and thus we would have unnecessarily established the connection.
Instead of fixing this - which would require buffering the push messages - I think we should just remove the implicit dial.
Pull-Request: #3843.
In the libp2p specs, the only handshake pattern that is specified is the XX handshake. Support for other handshake patterns can be added through external modules. While we are at it, we rename the remaining types to following the laid out naming convention.
The tests for handshakes other than XX are removed. The handshakes still work as we don't touch them in this patch.

The `unreachable_pub` lint makes us aware of uses of `pub` that are not actually reachable from the crate root. This is considered good because it means reading a `pub` somewhere means it is actually public API. Some of our crates are quite large and keeping their entire API surface in your head is difficult.
We should strive for most items being `pub(crate)`. This lint helps us enforce that.

This PR renames some method names that don't follow Rust naming conventions or behave differently from what the name suggests:
- Enforce "try" prefix on all methods that return `Result`.
- Enforce "encode" method name for methods that return encoded bytes.
- Enforce "to_bytes" method name for methods that return raw bytes.
- Enforce "decode" method name for methods that convert encoded key.
- Enforce "from_bytes" method name for methods that convert raw bytes.

With https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/3658, these crates depend on the `0.42.1` release to access the new `ToSwarm` type. With the currently specified version, a user could theoretically run into a compile error if they pin `libp2p-swarm` to `0.42.0` in their lockfile but update to the latest patch release of one of these crates.

Instead of relying on `protoc` and buildscripts, we generate the bindings using `pb-rs` and version them within our codebase. This makes for a better IDE integration, a faster build and an easier use of `rust-libp2p` because we don't force the `protoc` dependency onto them.

Anything folks would like to see included that is not yet in `master`? As usual I would like to only block on bug fixes.
Pull-Request: #3491.
Previously, a `ConnectionHandler` was immediately requested from the `NetworkBehaviour` as soon as a new dial was initiated or a new incoming connection accepted.
With this patch, we delay the creation of the handler until the connection is actually established and fully upgraded, i.e authenticated and multiplexed.
As a consequence, `NetworkBehaviour::new_handler` is now deprecated in favor of a new set of callbacks:
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_inbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_outbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_established_inbound_connection`
- `NetworkBehaviour::handle_established_outbound_connection`
All callbacks are fallible, allowing the `NetworkBehaviour` to abort the connection either immediately or after it is fully established. All callbacks also receive a `ConnectionId` parameter which uniquely identifies the connection. For example, in case a `NetworkBehaviour` issues a dial via `NetworkBehaviourAction::Dial`, it can unambiguously detect this dial in these lifecycle callbacks via the `ConnectionId`.
Finally, `NetworkBehaviour::handle_pending_outbound_connection` also replaces `NetworkBehaviour::addresses_of_peer` by allowing the behaviour to return more addresses to be used for the dial.

Don't close the stream `protocol::recv`.
This is a short-term fix for #3298.
The issue behind this is a general one on the QUIC transport when closing streams, as described in #3343. This PR only circumvents the issue for identify. A proper solution for our QUIC transport still needs more thought.
Pull-Request: #3344.
We create the `ConnectionId` for the new connection as part of `DialOpts`. This allows `NetworkBehaviour`s to accurately track state regarding their own dial attempts.
This patch is the main enabler of https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/3254. Removing the `handler` field will allow us to deprecate the `NetworkBehaviour::new_handler` function in favor of four new ones that give more control over the connection lifecycle.
Previously, we used the full reference to the `OutEvent` of the `ConnectionHandler` in all implementations of `NetworkBehaviour`. Not only is this very verbose, it is also more brittle to changes. With the current implementation plan for #2824, we will be removing the `IntoConnectionHandler` abstraction. Using a type-alias to refer to the `OutEvent` makes the migration much easier.
The trick with this one is to use `futures::Either` everywhere where we may wrap something that implements any of the `futures` traits. This includes the output of `EitherFuture` itself. We also need to implement `StreamMuxer` on `future::Either` because `StreamMuxer`s may be the the `Output` of `InboundUpgrade`.
With this commit `libp2p-identify` no longer discards the whole identify payload in case a listen addr of the remote node is invalid, but instead logs the failure, skips the invalid multiaddr and parses the remaining identify payload.
This is especially relevant when rolling out a new protocol to a live network. Say that most nodes of a network run on an implementation version v1. Say that the `multiaddr` implementation is not aware of the `webrtc/` protocol. Say that a new version (v2) is rolled out to the network with support for the `webrtc/` protocol, listening via `webrtc/` by default. In such case all v1 nodes would discard all identify payloads of v2 nodes, given that the v2 identify payloads would contain the `webrtc/` protocol in their `listen_addr` addresses.
See https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/3244 for details.
