* Improvements to the propagation and seeding of data
- Use a lookup for nodes selection in neighborhoodGossip
- Rework populate db code and add `propagateBlockHistoryDb` call
and portal_history__propagateBlock json-rpc call
- Small adjustment to blockwalk
* Avoid storing out-of-range data in the propagate db calls
Currently re-using http connections for the json-rpc requests
seems to slow down the requests considerably. Avoid this by
forcing a close after each requests in the blockwalk tool.
* Add concurrency to the content offers of neighborhoodGossip proc
And remove some whitespace
* Remove more whitespace and adjust for 80 char line limit
* Update fluffy grafana dashboard to include gossip offer results
* Remove unused import of config to avoid select_backend db import
- Importing nimbus-eth1 config.nim causes import of select_backend
which will default cause an import of kvstore_rocksdb and thus a
require rocksdb. Remove unused one to avoid rocksdb dependency
for Fluffy.
- Remove some whitespace in bridge_client (to make fluffy CI
trigger for sure).
* Use specific cache keys for fluffy CI workflow
* Disable Fluffy CI reproducibility test
- Truncate returned number of ENRs in Portal Nodes message to fit
the discv5 max. packet size
- Truncate returned number of ENRs in Portal Content message to
fit the discv5 max. packet size
- Use more detailed packet size calculation for max content payload
in Portal Content message.
- Add metrics to track how many ENRs get packed in the Portal
Nodes and Content messages.
* Add block bodies to the propagation and lookups
- Read and propagate block bodies next to the headers
- Add block bodies content (via lookups) to the eth_getBlockByHash
call
- Test the above in test_portal_testnet
* Fix storage/propagation of block bodies
- Data format is an actual block: [header, txs, uncles], which
requires some adjustment to store the block body
- Added also `eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash` json rpc call
Default the network key will be taken from a network key file
instead of randomly generated on each run. This is done because
the data that gets stored in the content database is dependant on
the network key used, as the node id is derived from this.
This is to avoid having a json rpc call fail if there was a
previous call done more than 10 seconds ago. 10 seconds because
that is the default timeout on the http server side.
* Sharing block header data around in a Portal history network (PoC)
- Rework PortalStream to have an instance per PortalProtocol (this
needs to be improved eventually). Each instance uses the same
UtpDiscv5Protocol instance.
- Add processContent on receival of accepted data
- Add dumb neighborhoodGossip: dumb in the sense that it only
offers one piece of content at a time.
- Add to / adjust populate_db to also allow for propagation of
the data and add debug rpc call: portal_history_propagate
- Add eth_rpc_client
- Add eth_getBlockbyHash (no txs or uncles) to eth API
- Add additional test to test_portal_testnet which loads 5 block
headers to 1 node, and offers this data to few nodes, which should
propagate it over the network further. Next query every node for
this data.
* Adjust paths on which Fluffy CI is triggered
* Add documentation on the local testnet
* Improve the tests of the local testnet
The local testnet test was rather flaky and would occasionally
fail. It has been made more robust by adding the ENRs directly
to the routing table instead of doing some random lookups.
Additionally, the amount of nodes were increased (=64), ip limits
configuration was added, and the bits-per-hop value was set to 1
in order to make the lookups more likely to hit the network
instead of only the local routing table.
Failure is obviously still possible to happen when sufficient
packets get lost. If this turns out to be the case with the current
amount of nodes, we might have to revise the testing strategy here.
* Disable lookup test for State network
Disable lookup test for State network due to issue with custom
distance function causing the lookup to not always converging
towards the target.
