Prefixing a variable with an underscore (`_`) in Rust indicates that it is not used. Through refactorings, it can sometimes happen that we do end up using such a variable. In this case, the underscore should be removed.
Clippy can help us with this.
Pull-Request: #3484.
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 used to buffer events separately and emit actions directly. That is unnecessary. We can have a single place where we return from the `poll` loop and shove all actions into the same buffer.
This patch deprecates 3 out of 4 functions on `PollParameters`:
- `local_peer_id`
- `listened_addresses`
- `external_addresses`
The addresses can be obtained by inspecting the `FromSwarm` event. To make this easier, we introduce two utility structs in `libp2p-swarm`:
- `ExternalAddresses`
- `ListenAddresses`
A node's `PeerId` is always known to the caller, thus we can require them to pass it in.

Remove the concept of individual `Transport::Listener` streams from `Transport`.
Instead the `Transport` is polled directly via `Transport::poll`. The
`Transport` is now responsible for driving its listeners.
Optionally only perform dial-backs on peers that are observed at a global ip-address.
This is relevant when multiple peers are in the same local network, in which case a peer could incorrectly assume themself to be public because a peer in the same local network was able to dial them. Thus servers should reject dial-back requests from clients with a non-global IP address, and at the same time clients should only pick connected peers as servers if they are global.
Behind a config flag (enabled by default) to also allow use-cases where AutoNAT is needed within a private network.
A `ProtocolsHandler`, now `ConnectionHandler`, handels a connection, not
a protocol. Thus the name `CONNECTIONHandler` is more appropriate.
Next to the rename of `ProtocolsHandler` this commit renames the `mod
protocols_handler` to `mod handler`. Finally all combinators (e.g.
`ProtocolsHandlerSelect`) are renamed appropriately.
Allows `NetworkBehaviour` implementations to dial a peer, but instruct
the dialed connection to be upgraded as if it were the listening
endpoint.
This is needed when establishing direct connections through NATs and/or
Firewalls (hole punching). When hole punching via TCP (QUIC is different
but similar) both ends dial the other at the same time resulting in a
simultaneously opened TCP connection. To disambiguate who is the dialer
and who the listener there are two options:
1. Use the Simultaneous Open Extension of Multistream Select. See
[sim-open] specification and [sim-open-rust] Rust implementation.
2. Disambiguate the role (dialer or listener) based on the role within
the DCUtR [dcutr] protocol. More specifically the node initiating the
DCUtR process will act as a listener and the other as a dialer.
This commit enables (2), i.e. enables the DCUtR protocol to specify the
role used once the connection is established.
While on the positive side (2) requires one round trip less than (1), on
the negative side (2) only works for coordinated simultaneous dials.
I.e. when a simultaneous dial happens by chance, and not coordinated via
DCUtR, the connection attempt fails when only (2) is in place.

This commit adds a behaviour protocol that implements the AutoNAT specification.
It enables users to detect whether they are behind a NAT. The Autonat Protocol
implements a Codec for the Request-Response protocol, and wraps it in a new
Network Behaviour with some additional functionality.
