Crate libp2p

Expand description

libp2p is a modular peer-to-peer networking framework.

To learn more about the general libp2p multi-language framework visit libp2p.io.

To get started with this libp2p implementation in Rust, please take a look at the tutorials. Further examples can be found in the examples directory.

Macros

build_multiaddr

Easy way for a user to create a Multiaddr.

Structs

Representation of a Multiaddr.

Identifier of a peer of the network.

Contains the state of the network, plus the way it should behave.

Enums

An error during dialing or listening on a Transport.

Traits

Possible upgrade on an inbound connection or substream.

InboundUpgradeExt

Extension trait for InboundUpgrade. Automatically implemented on all types that implement InboundUpgrade.

OutboundUpgrade

Possible upgrade on an outbound connection or substream.

OutboundUpgradeExt

Extention trait for OutboundUpgrade. Automatically implemented on all types that implement OutboundUpgrade.

A transport provides connection-oriented communication between two peers through ordered streams of data (i.e. connections).

Trait automatically implemented on all objects that implement Transport. Provides some additional utilities.

Functions

development_transport

Builds a Transport based on TCP/IP that supports the most commonly-used features of libp2p:

Derive Macros

NetworkBehaviour

Generates a delegating NetworkBehaviour implementation for the struct this is used for. See the trait documentation for better description.
