Add instructions on how to run a three node example where a listening relay client listens via a relay server and a dialing relay client dials the listening relay client via the relay server.
Central repository for work on libp2p
This repository is the central place for Rust development of the libp2p spec.
Warning: While we are trying our best to be compatible with other libp2p implementations, we cannot guarantee that this is the case considering the lack of a precise libp2p specifications.
Getting started
-
Main documentation can be found on https://docs.rs/libp2p.
-
The examples folder contains small binaries showcasing the many protocols in this repository.
-
To report bugs, suggest improvements or request new features please open GitHub issue on this repository.
-
For rust-libp2p specific questions please use the GitHub Discussions forum https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/discussions.
-
For discussions and questions related to multiple libp2p implementations please use the libp2p Discourse forum https://discuss.libp2p.io.
Repository Structure
The main components of this repository are structured as follows:
-
core/: The implementation oflibp2p-corewith itsNetwork,TransportandStreamMuxerAPI on which almost all other crates depend. -
transports/: Implementations of transport protocols (e.g. TCP) and protocol upgrades (e.g. for authenticated encryption, compression, ...) based on thelibp2p-coreTransportAPI . -
muxers/: Implementations of theStreamMuxerinterface oflibp2p-core, e.g. (sub)stream multiplexing protocols on top of (typically TCP) connections. Multiplexing protocols are (mandatory)Transportupgrades. -
swarm/: The implementation oflibp2p-swarmbuilding onlibp2p-corewith the central interfacesNetworkBehaviourandProtocolsHandlerused to implement application protocols (seeprotocols/). -
protocols/: Implementations of application protocols based on thelibp2p-swarmAPIs. -
misc/: Utility libraries. -
examples/: Worked examples of built-in application protocols (seeprotocols/) with commonTransportconfigurations.
