`nim-serialization` is tagged with `{.raises:[SerializationError].}` so it is no longer sufficient to catch `SszError` in some situations. `SszError` inherits from `SerializationError`, so broadening the caught exception types can be done now, to enable bumping `nim-serialization`. https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/5043#issuecomment-1584227993 #5061 is also needed to bump `nim-serialization`.
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
