why:
Rlp errors throw exceptions which cause the dispatcher loop to
terminate the current session immediately.
details:
The DisconnectionReasonList message requires a single entry list.
Observed and now accepted deviations are:
Geth: single byte number
bor(a Geth fork): blobbed single entry list containing a number
why:
This is a legacy feature and its usage should peter out over time.
details:
Use -d:chunked_rlpx_enabled for enabling chunked RLPx message handling.
why:
For some reason, Nethermind insists on sending chunked messages to
the syncing peer. Unfortunately, for the test networks the Nethermind
modes are the importent ones as they speak eth/65 as well while others
like Geth only support eth/66 which is not implemented here, yet.
- add eventLoop to control all incoming events
- change semantic of write to asynchronously block only when send buffer is full, and not when bytes do not fit into send window
- change handling of receive buffer, to start dropping packets if the reorder buffer and receive buffer are full. Old behaviour was to async block unless there is space which could lead to resource exhaustion attacks
The ENR code used to be solely exception based, and these
exceptions where a left-over of that. They are useless as later
calls use Result anyhow.
Additionally, they cause quite the performance loss because they
are used in the "common path" for the toTypedRecord call, e.g.
when reading the fields of ip6, tcp6 and udp6.
Currently only setting `--styleCheck:hint` as there are some
dependency fixes required and the compiler seems to trip over the
findnode MessageKind, findnode Message field and the findNode
proc. Also over protocol.Protocol usage.
This removes the outdated copy of the SSZ code. It became incorrect
over time (e.g., empty SSZ list elements), and is no longer in use by
GitHub projects: https://github.com/search?q=extension%3Anim+eth%2Fssz
The canonical SSZ implementation resides at `nim-ssz-serialization`.
Compared to `nim-eth`, these changes were made meanwhile:
- `bitseqs` was extended with JSON serialization support,
and with the new functions `isZero` and `countOnes`.
- `bytes_reader` was renamed to `codec`, extended with a few additional
SSZ type conversions as well as support for `SingleMemberUnion`.
- The simplified merkle tree implementation in `merkle_tree.nim`
was removed. It was not used by other projects.
- `merkleization` was extended with support for `HashArray`, `HashList`
and `SingleMemberUnion`. The `isValidProof` functionality has been
moved to `nimbus-eth2` and replaced with the EF defined function
`is_valid_merkle_branch`. The test was also moved to `nimbus-eth2`.
There are no other GitHub projects using `isValidProof`:
https://github.com/search?q=extension%3Anim+isValidProof
Furthermore, a definition for `GeneralizedIndex` was added.
- `ssz_serialization` was moved one directory up, and improved with
bug fixes and `HashArray`, `HashList` and `SingleMemberUnion` support.
- `types` was extended with JSON serialization and new type support for
`Uint128`, `Uint256`, `HashArray`, `HashList` and `SingleMemberUnion`.
There is also a new `getBit` function for `BitList`.
