## # Discovery Manager
|
|
##
|
|
## In the [previous tutorial](tutorial_4_gossipsub.md), we built a custom protocol using [protobuf](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers) and
|
|
## spread informations (some metrics) on the network using gossipsub.
|
|
## For this tutorial, on the other hand, we'll go back on a simple example
|
|
## we'll try to discover a specific peers to greet on the network.
|
|
##
|
|
## First, as usual, we import the dependencies:
|
|
import sequtils
|
|
import chronos
|
|
import stew/byteutils
|
|
|
|
import libp2p
|
|
import libp2p/protocols/rendezvous
|
|
import libp2p/discovery/rendezvousinterface
|
|
import libp2p/discovery/discoverymngr
|
|
|
|
## We'll not use newStandardSwitch this time as we need the discovery protocol
|
|
## [RendezVous](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/rendezvous/README.md) to be mounted on the switch using withRendezVous.
|
|
##
|
|
## Note that other discovery methods such as [Kademlia](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/kad-dht/README.md) or [discv5](https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/discv5/discv5.md) exist.
|
|
proc createSwitch(rdv: RendezVous = RendezVous.new()): Switch =
|
|
SwitchBuilder.new()
|
|
.withRng(newRng())
|
|
.withAddresses(@[ MultiAddress.init("/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/0").tryGet() ])
|
|
.withTcpTransport()
|
|
.withYamux()
|
|
.withNoise()
|
|
.withRendezVous(rdv)
|
|
.build()
|
|
|
|
# Create a really simple protocol to log one message received then close the stream
|
|
const DumbCodec = "/dumb/proto/1.0.0"
|
|
type DumbProto = ref object of LPProtocol
|
|
proc new(T: typedesc[DumbProto], nodeNumber: int): T =
|
|
proc handle(conn: Connection, proto: string) {.async, gcsafe.} =
|
|
echo "Node", nodeNumber, " received: ", string.fromBytes(await conn.readLp(1024))
|
|
await conn.close()
|
|
return T(codecs: @[DumbCodec], handler: handle)
|
|
|
|
## ## Bootnodes
|
|
## The first time a p2p program is ran, he needs to know how to join
|
|
## its network. This is generally done by hard-coding a list of stable
|
|
## nodes in the binary, called "bootnodes". These bootnodes are a
|
|
## critical part of a p2p network, since they are used by every new
|
|
## user to onboard the network.
|
|
##
|
|
## By using libp2p, we can use any node supporting our discovery protocol
|
|
## (rendezvous in this case) as a bootnode. For this example, we'll
|
|
## create a bootnode, and then every peer will advertise itself on the
|
|
## bootnode, and use it to find other peers
|
|
proc main() {.async, gcsafe.} =
|
|
let bootNode = createSwitch()
|
|
await bootNode.start()
|
|
|
|
# Create 5 nodes in the network
|
