* check for and log gossip broadcast failure * switch notices to warns; update LC variables regardless * don't both return a Result and log sending error * add metrics counter for failed-due-to-no-peers and removed unnecessary async * don't report failure of sync committee messages * remove redundant metric * document metric being incremented
Networking
This folders hold a collection of modules to:
- configure the Eth2 P2P network
- discover, connect, and maintain quality Eth2 peers
Data received is handed other to the ../gossip_processing
modules for validation.
Security concerns
- Collusion: part of the peer selection must be kept random. This avoids peers bringing all their friends and colluding against a beacon node.
- Denial-of-service: The beacon node must provide ways to handle burst of data that may come:
- from malicious nodes trying to DOS us
- from long periods of non-finality, creating lots of forks, attestations, forks
