Transport and protocol upgrade system of *libp2p*. //! //! This crate contains all the core traits and mechanisms of the transport system of *libp2p*. //! //! # The `Transport` trait //! //! The main trait that this crate provides is `Transport`, which provides the `dial` and //! `listen_on` methods and can be used to dial or listen on a multiaddress. The `swarm` crate //! itself does not provide any concrete (ie. non-dummy, non-adapter) implementation of this trait. //! It is implemented on structs that are provided by external crates, such as `TcpConfig` from //! `tcp-transport`, `UdpConfig`, or `WebsocketConfig` (note: as of the writing of this //! documentation, the last two structs don't exist yet). //! //! Each implementation of `Transport` only supports *some* multiaddress protocols, for example //! the `TcpConfig` struct only supports multiaddresses that look like `/ip*/*.*.*.*/tcp/*`. It is //! possible to group two implementations of `Transport` with the `or_transport` method, in order //! to obtain a single object that supports the protocols of both objects at once. This can be done //! multiple times in a row in order to chain as many implementations as you want. //! //! // TODO: right now only tcp-transport exists, we need to add an example for chaining //! // multiple transports once that makes sense //! //! # Connection upgrades //! //! Once a socket has been opened with a remote through a `Transport`, it can be *upgraded*. This //! consists in negotiating a protocol with the remote (through `multistream-select`), and applying //! that protocol on the socket. //! //! A potential connection upgrade is represented with the `ConnectionUpgrade` trait. The trait //! consists in a protocol name plus a method that turns the socket into an `Output` object whose //! nature and type is specific to each upgrade. //! //! There exists three kinds of connection upgrades: middlewares, muxers, and actual protocols. //! //! ## Middlewares //! //! Examples of middleware connection upgrades include `PlainTextConfig` (dummy upgrade) or //! `SecioConfig` (encyption layer, provided by the `secio` crate). //! //! The output of a middleware connection upgrade must implement the `AsyncRead` and `AsyncWrite` //! traits, just like sockets do. //! //! A middleware can be applied on a transport by using the `with_upgrade` method of the //! `Transport` trait. The return value of this method also implements the `Transport` trait, which //! means that you can call `dial()` and `listen_on()` on it in order to directly obtain an //! upgraded connection or a listener that will yield upgraded connections. An error is produced if //! the remote doesn't support the protocol corresponding to the connection upgrade. //! //! ``` //! extern crate libp2p_swarm; //! extern crate libp2p_tcp_transport; //! extern crate tokio_core; //! //! use libp2p_swarm::Transport; //! //! # fn main() { //! let tokio_core = tokio_core::reactor::Core::new().unwrap(); //! let tcp_transport = libp2p_tcp_transport::TcpConfig::new(tokio_core.handle()); //! let upgraded = tcp_transport.with_upgrade(libp2p_swarm::PlainTextConfig); //! //! // upgraded.dial(...) // automatically applies the plain text protocol on the socket //! # } //! ``` //! //! ## Muxers //! //! The concept of *muxing* consists in using a single stream as if it was multiple substreams. //! //! If the output of the connection upgrade instead implements the `StreamMuxer` and `Clone` //! traits, then you can turn the `UpgradedNode` struct into a `ConnectionReuse` struct by calling //! `ConnectionReuse::from(upgraded_node)`. //! //! The `ConnectionReuse` struct then implements the `Transport` trait, and can be used to dial or //! listen to multiaddresses, just like any other transport. The only difference is that dialing //! a node will try to open a new substream on an existing connection instead of opening a new //! one every time. //! //! TODO: add an example once the multiplex pull request is merged //! //! ## Actual protocols //! //! *Actual protocols* work the same way as middlewares, except that their `Output` doesn't //! implement the `AsyncRead` and `AsyncWrite` traits. This means that that the return value of //! `with_upgrade` does **not** implement the `Transport` trait and thus cannot be used as a //! transport. //! //! However the `UpgradedNode` struct returned by `with_upgrade` still provides methods named //! `dial` and `listen_on`, which will yield you respectively a `Future` or a `Stream`, which you //! can use to obtain the `Output`. This `Output` can then be used in a protocol-specific way to //! use the protocol. //! //! ```no_run //! extern crate futures; //! extern crate libp2p_ping; //! extern crate libp2p_swarm; //! extern crate libp2p_tcp_transport; //! extern crate tokio_core; //! //! use futures::Future; //! use libp2p_ping::Ping; //! use libp2p_swarm::Transport; //! //! # fn main() { //! let mut core = tokio_core::reactor::Core::new().unwrap(); //! //! let ping_finished_future = libp2p_tcp_transport::TcpConfig::new(core.handle()) //! // We have a `TcpConfig` struct that implements `Transport`, and apply a `Ping` upgrade on it. //! .with_upgrade(Ping) //! // TODO: right now the only available protocol is ping, but we want to replace it with //! // something that is more simple to use //! .dial(libp2p_swarm::Multiaddr::new("127.0.0.1:12345").unwrap()).unwrap_or_else(|_| panic!()) //! .and_then(|(mut pinger, service)| { //! pinger.ping().map_err(|_| panic!()).select(service).map_err(|_| panic!()) //! }); //! //! // Runs until the ping arrives. //! core.run(ping_finished_future).unwrap(); //! # } //! ``` //! //! ## Grouping protocols //! //! You can use the `.or_upgrade()` method to group multiple upgrades together. The return value //! also implements the `ConnectionUpgrade` trait and will choose one of the protocols amongst the //! ones supported. //! extern crate bytes; #[macro_use] extern crate futures; extern crate multistream_select; extern crate smallvec; extern crate tokio_io; /// Multi-address re-export. pub extern crate multiaddr; mod connection_reuse; pub mod muxing; pub mod transport; pub use self::connection_reuse::ConnectionReuse; pub use self::multiaddr::Multiaddr; pub use self::muxing::StreamMuxer; pub use self::transport::{ConnectionUpgrade, PlainTextConfig, Transport, UpgradedNode, OrUpgrade}; pub use self::transport::{Endpoint, SimpleProtocol};
