> Add encryption and multiplexing capabilities to libp2p transport connections
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
This package is a component of [libp2p ](https://libp2p.io ), a modular networking
stack for building peer-to-peer applications.
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
For two libp2p peers to communicate, the connection between them must be secure,
and each peer must be able to open multiple independent streams of communication
over a single channel. We call connections with these features "capable"
connections.
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
Many of the underlying [transport protocols][docs-transport] that are used by
libp2p do not provide the required capabilities "out of the box."
`go-libp2p-transport-upgrader` provides the necessary logic to upgrade
connections and listeners into fully capable connections and connection
listeners.
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
In order to be upgraded, the underlying connection or listener must be a
[`multiaddr-net`][manet] [`Conn`][manet-conn] or [`Listener`][manet-listener].
The `multiaddr-net` types integrate the Go standard library connection types
with [`multiaddr`][multiaddr], an extensible addressing format used throughout
libp2p.
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
As well as the mandatory capabilities of security and multiplexing, the upgrader
can optionally apply a `Protector` for [private networking][pnet], as well as an
[address filter][maddr-filter] to prevent connections to specific addresses.

## Install
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
Most people building applications with libp2p will have no need to install
`go-libp2p-transport-upgrader` directly. It is included as a dependency of the
main [`go-libp2p`][go-libp2p] "entry point" module and is integrated into the
libp2p `Host` .
For users who do not depend on `go-libp2p` and are managing their libp2p module
dependencies in a more manual fashion, `go-libp2p-transport-upgrader` is a
standard Go module which can be installed with:
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
```sh
go get github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-transport-upgrader
```
This repo is [gomod ](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules )-compatible, and users of
go 1.11 and later with modules enabled will automatically pull the latest tagged release
by referencing this package. Upgrades to future releases can be managed using `go get` ,
or by editing your `go.mod` file as [described by the gomod documentation ](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#how-to-upgrade-and-downgrade-dependencies ).
## Usage
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
To use, construct a new `Upgrader` with:
* An optional [pnet][pnet] `Protector` .
* An optional [go-maddr-filter][maddr-filter] address `Filter` .
* A mandatory [stream security transport][ss].
* A mandatory [stream multiplexer][smux].
In practice, most users will not need to construct an `Upgrader` directly.
Instead, when constructing a libp2p [`Host`][godoc-host], you can pass in some
combination of the [`PrivateNetwork`][godoc-pnet-option],
[`Filters`][godoc-filters-option], [`Security`][godoc-security-option], and
[`Muxer`][godoc-muxer-option] `Option` s. This will configure the `Upgrader` that
is created and used by the `Host` internally.

## Example
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
Below is a simplified TCP transport implementation using the transport upgrader.
In practice, you'll want to use
[go-tcp-transport ](https://github.com/libp2p/go-tcp-transport ), which is
optimized for production usage.
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
```go
package tcptransport
import (
"context"
tptu "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-transport-upgrader"
ma "github.com/multiformats/go-multiaddr"
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
mafmt "github.com/multiformats/go-multiaddr-fmt"
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
manet "github.com/multiformats/go-multiaddr-net"
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
tpt "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-core/transport"
peer "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-core/peer"
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
)
// TcpTransport is a simple TCP transport.
type TcpTransport struct {
// Connection upgrader for upgrading insecure stream connections to
// secure multiplex connections.
Upgrader *tptu.Upgrader
}
var _ tpt.Transport = & TcpTransport{}
// NewTCPTransport creates a new TCP transport instance.
func NewTCPTransport(upgrader *tptu.Upgrader) *TcpTransport {
return & TcpTransport{Upgrader: upgrader}
}
// CanDial returns true if this transport believes it can dial the given
// multiaddr.
func (t *TcpTransport) CanDial(addr ma.Multiaddr) bool {
return mafmt.TCP.Matches(addr)
}
// Dial dials the peer at the remote address.
2021-06-16 20:19:45 +00:00
func (t *TcpTransport) Dial(ctx context.Context, raddr ma.Multiaddr, p peer.ID) (tpt.CapableConn, error) {
var dialer manet.Dialer
conn, err := dialer.DialContext(ctx, raddr)
2019-06-09 07:24:20 +00:00
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return t.Upgrader.UpgradeOutbound(ctx, t, conn, p)
}
// Listen listens on the given multiaddr.
func (t *TcpTransport) Listen(laddr ma.Multiaddr) (tpt.Listener, error) {
list, err := manet.Listen(laddr)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return t.Upgrader.UpgradeListener(t, list), nil
}
// Protocols returns the list of terminal protocols this transport can dial.
func (t *TcpTransport) Protocols() []int {
return []int{ma.P_TCP}
}
// Proxy always returns false for the TCP transport.
func (t *TcpTransport) Proxy() bool {
return false
}
