go-libp2p-pubsub

This repo contains the canonical pubsub implementation for libp2p. We currently provide three message router options:

• Floodsub, which is the baseline flooding protocol.
• Randomsub, which is a simple probabilistic router that propagates to random subsets of peers.
• Gossipsub, which is a more advanced router with mesh formation and gossip propagation. See spec and implementation for more details.

PSA: The Hardening Extensions for Gossipsub (Gossipsub V1.1) can be found under development at https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-pubsub/pull/263

Tracing

The pubsub system supports tracing, which collects all events pertaining to the internals of the system. This allows you to recreate the complete message flow and state of the system for analysis purposes.

To enable tracing, instantiate the pubsub system using the WithEventTracer option; the option accepts a tracer with three available implementations in-package (trace to json, pb, or a remote peer). If you want to trace using a remote peer, you can do so using the traced daemon from go-libp2p-pubsub-tracer. The package also includes a utility program, tracestat, for analyzing the traces collected by the daemon.

For instance, to capture the trace as a json file, you can use the following option:

pubsub.NewWakuRelaySub(..., pubsub.NewEventTracer(pubsub.NewJSONTracer("/path/to/trace.json")))

To capture the trace as a protobuf, you can use the following option:

pubsub.NewWakuRelaySub(..., pubsub.NewEventTracer(pubsub.NewPBTracer("/path/to/trace.pb")))

Finally, to use the remote tracer, you can use the following incantations:

// assuming that your tracer runs in x.x.x.x and has a peer ID of QmTracer
pi, err := peer.AddrInfoFromP2pAddr(ma.StringCast("/ip4/x.x.x.x/tcp/4001/p2p/QmTracer"))
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}

tracer, err := pubsub.NewRemoteTracer(ctx, host, pi)
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}

ps, err := pubsub.NewWakuRelaySub(..., pubsub.WithEventTracer(tracer))
