The various `PeerScore` constants are used for both beacon blocks and
LC objects, and will likely also find use for EIP4844 blob sidecars.
Renaming them to use more generically applicable names not referring
to blocks explicitly aymore.
We currently use `BlockError` for both beacon blocks and LC objects.
In light of EIP4844, we will likely also use it for blob sidecars.
To avoid confusion, renaming it to a more generic `VerifierError`,
and update its documentation to be more generic.
To avoid long lines as a followup, also renaming the `block_processor`'s
`BlockProcessingCompleted.completed`->`ProcessingStatus.completed` and
`BlockProcessingCompleted.notCompleted`->`ProcessingStatus.notCompleted`
To further tighten Nimbus against spam, this PR introduces a global
quota for block requests (shared between peers) as well as a general
per-peer request limit that applies to all libp2p requests.
* apply request quota before decoding message
* for high-bandwidth requests (blocks), apply a shared global quota
which helps manage bandwidth for high-peer setups
* add metrics
* cap maximum number of chunks to download from peer (fixes#1620)
* drop support for requesting blocks via v1 / phase0 protocol
* tighten bounds checking of fixed-size messages
Implements the latest proposal for providing LC data via REST, as of
https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/247 with a v0 suffix.
Requests:
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/bootstrap/{block_root}`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/updates?start_period={start_period}&count={count}`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/finality_update`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/optimistic_update`
HTTP Server-Sent Events (SSE):
- `light_client_finality_update_v0`
- `light_client_optimistic_update_v0`
When the sync queue processes results for a blocks by range request,
and the requested range contained some slots that are already finalized,
`BlockError.MissingParent` currently leads to `PeerScoreBadBlocks` even
when the error occurs on a non-finalized slot in the requested range.
This patch changes the scoring in that case to `PeerScoreMissingBlocks`
for consistency with range requests solely covering non-finalized slots,
and, likewise, rewinds the sync queue to the next `rewindSlot`.
The sync protocol does not distinguish between:
- All requested slots are empty
- Peer does not have data available about requested range
Therefore, we treat EOF for `beacon_blocks_by_range` and for
`beacon_blocks_by_range` as valid responses, as if the entire epoch
really contained no single block for any slot. Once a followup response
provides new blocks, we detect that some blocks were missing and rewind.
During backfill, we also request the known-to-exist `backfill.slot`,
so we can actually detect whether an epoch really does not have blocks
or whether a response is incomplete (`PeerScoreNoBlocks`).
The optimistic sync spec was updated since the LC based optsync module
was introduced. It is no longer necessary to wait for the justified
checkpoint to have execution enabled; instead, any block is okay to be
optimistically imported to the EL client, as long as its parent block
has execution enabled. Complex syncing logic has been removed, and the
LC optsync module will now follow gossip directly, reducing the latency
when using this module. Note that because this is now based on gossip
instead of using sync manager / request manager, that individual blocks
may be missed. However, EL clients should recover from this by fetching
missing blocks themselves.
* Use final `v1` version for light client protocols
* Unhide LC data collection options
* Default enable LC data serving
* rm unneeded import
* Connect to EL on startup
* Add docs for LC based EL sync
Adds the `--web3-url` launch argument to `nimbus_light_client` to enable
driving the EL with the optimistic head obtained from LC sync protocol.
This will keep issuing `newPayload` / `forkChoiceUpdated` requests for
new blocks, marking them as optimistic. `ZERO_HASH` is reported as the
finalized block for now.
* optimistic sync
* flag that initially loaded blocks from database might need execution block root filled in
* return optimistic status in REST calls
* refactor blockslot pruning
* ensure beacon_blocks_by_{root,range} do not provide optimistic blocks
* handle forkchoice head being pre-merge with block being postmerge
* re-enable blocking head updates on validator duties
* fix is_optimistic_candidate_block per spec; don't crash with nil future
* fix is_optimistic_candidate_block per spec; don't crash with nil future
* mark blocks sans execution payloads valid during head update
Combines the LC data configuration options (serve / importMode), the
callbacks (finality / optimistic LC update) as well as the cache storing
light client data, into a new `LightClientDataStore` structure.
Also moves the structure into a light client specific file.
* adopt LC REST API with v0 suffix (without proofs)
Adopts the light client data REST API used by Lodestar as defined in
https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/181 with a v0 suffix.
Requests:
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/bootstrap/{block_root}`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/updates?start_period={start_period}&count={count}`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/finality_update`
- `/eth/v0/beacon/light_client/optimistic_update`
HTTP Server-Sent Events (SSE):
- `light_client_finality_update_v0`
- `light_client_optimistic_update_v0`
More work is needed to adopt the proofs endpoint, it is not included.
* initialize event queues
* register event topics
Ensures that all intermediate blocks are reported if a small gap is
encountered when downloading optimistic blocks. Gaps may occur when
a block is missed and still downloading, or when EL processing is slow.
If the gap exceeds 1 epoch, optimistic block stream jumps to latest.
For consistency with other options, use a common prefix for light client
data configuration options.
* `--serve-light-client-data` --> `--light-client-data-serve`
* `--import-light-client-data` --> `--light-client-data-import-mode`
No deprecation of the old identifiers as they were only sparingly used
and all usage can be easily updated without interferance.
Corrects an off-by-1 in the reported sync percentage computation.
New logic is based on `SyncQueue.total` and `SyncQueue.progress`
with `pivot` instead of `sq.startSlot`.
When launched with `--light-client-enable` the latest blocks are fetched
and optimistic candidate blocks are passed to a callback (log for now).
This helps accelerate syncing in the future (optimistic sync).
Introduces a new library for syncing using libp2p based light client
sync protocol, and adds a new `nimbus_light_client` executable that uses
this library for syncing. The new executable emits log messages when
new beacon block headers are received, and is integrated into testing.
Incorporates the latest changes to the light client sync protocol based
on Devconnect AMS feedback. Note that this breaks compatibility with the
previous prototype, due to changes to data structures and endpoints.

Follows up on https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3461 which
ensured that repeated `beaconBlocksByRange` requests get shrinked to
account for potential out-of-band advancements to `safeSlot`, with
similar logic for the initial request.
* use MAX_CHUNK_SIZE_BELLATRIX for signed Bellatrix blocks
* Update beacon_chain/networking/eth2_network.nim

* localPassC to localPassc
* check against maxChunkSize rather than constant
Co-authored-by: Etan Kissling <etan@status.im>
* Add `NoMonitor` flag to stop SyncManager from monitoring sync situation.
* Remove `toleranceValue` and `PeerScoreHeadTooNew`.
