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.
Resolves#2824.
Pull-Request: #3254.
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.
Previously, we had one callback for each kind of message that a `ConnectionHandler` would receive from either its `NetworkBehaviour` or the connection itself.
With this patch, we combine these functions, resulting in two callbacks:
- `on_behaviour_event`
- `on_connection_event`
Resolves#3080.
Previously, the `DummyConnectionHandler` offered a "keep alive" functionality,
i.e. it allowed users to set the value of what is returned from
`ConnectionHandler::keep_alive`. This handler is primarily used in tests or
`NetworkBehaviour`s that don't open any connections (like mDNS). In all of these
cases, it is statically known whether we want to keep connections alive. As
such, this functionality is better represented by a static
`KeepAliveConnectionHandler` that always returns `KeepAlive::Yes` and a
`DummyConnectionHandler` that always returns `KeepAlive::No`.
To follow the naming conventions described in
https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/2217, we introduce a top-level
`keep_alive` and `dummy` behaviour in `libp2p-swarm` that contains both the
`NetworkBehaviour` and `ConnectionHandler` implementation for either case.
