| //! Implementation of the [Gossipsub](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/pubsub/gossipsub/README.md) protocol. | |
| //! | |
| //! Gossipsub is a P2P pubsub (publish/subscription) routing layer designed to extend upon | |
| //! floodsub and meshsub routing protocols. | |
| //! | |
| //! # Overview | |
| //! | |
| //! *Note: The gossipsub protocol specifications | |
| //! (<https://github.com/libp2p/specs/tree/master/pubsub/gossipsub>) provide an outline for the | |
| //! routing protocol. They should be consulted for further detail.* | |
| //! | |
| //! Gossipsub is a blend of meshsub for data and randomsub for mesh metadata. It provides bounded | |
| //! degree and amplification factor with the meshsub construction and augments it using gossip | |
| //! propagation of metadata with the randomsub technique. | |
| //! | |
| //! The router maintains an overlay mesh network of peers on which to efficiently send messages and | |
| //! metadata. Peers use control messages to broadcast and request known messages and | |
| //! subscribe/unsubscribe from topics in the mesh network. | |
| //! | |
| //! # Important Discrepancies | |
| //! | |
| //! This section outlines the current implementation's potential discrepancies from that of other | |
| //! implementations, due to undefined elements in the current specification. | |
| //! | |
| //! - **Topics** - In gossipsub, topics configurable by the `hash_topics` configuration parameter. | |
| //! Topics are of type [`TopicHash`]. The current go implementation uses raw utf-8 strings, and this | |
| //! is default configuration in rust-libp2p. Topics can be hashed (SHA256 hashed then base64 | |
| //! encoded) by setting the `hash_topics` configuration parameter to true. | |
| //! | |
| //! - **Sequence Numbers** - A message on the gossipsub network is identified by the source | |
| //! [`PeerId`](libp2p_identity::PeerId) and a nonce (sequence number) of the message. The sequence numbers in | |
| //! this implementation are sent as raw bytes across the wire. They are 64-bit big-endian unsigned | |
| //! integers. When messages are signed, they are monotonically increasing integers starting from a | |
| //! random value and wrapping around u64::MAX. When messages are unsigned, they are chosen at random. | |
| //! NOTE: These numbers are sequential in the current go implementation. | |
| //! | |
| //! # Peer Discovery | |
| //! | |
| //! Gossipsub does not provide peer discovery by itself. Peer discovery is the process by which | |
| //! peers in a p2p network exchange information about each other among other reasons to become resistant | |
| //! against the failure or replacement of the | |
| //! [boot nodes](https://docs.libp2p.io/reference/glossary/#boot-node) of the network. | |
| //! | |
| //! Peer | |
| //! discovery can e.g. be implemented with the help of the [Kademlia](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/kad-dht/README.md) protocol | |
| //! in combination with the [Identify](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/tree/master/identify) protocol. See the | |
| //! Kademlia implementation documentation for more information. | |
| //! | |
| //! # Using Gossipsub | |
| //! | |
| //! ## Gossipsub Config | |
| //! | |
| //! The [`Config`] struct specifies various network performance/tuning configuration | |
| //! parameters. Specifically it specifies: | |
| //! | |
| //! [`Config`]: struct.Config.html | |
| //! | |
| //! This struct implements the [`Default`] trait and can be initialised via | |
| //! [`Config::default()`]. | |
| //! | |
| //! | |
| //! ## Behaviour | |
| //! | |
| //! The [`Behaviour`] struct implements the [`libp2p_swarm::NetworkBehaviour`] trait allowing it to | |
| //! act as the routing behaviour in a [`libp2p_swarm::Swarm`]. This struct requires an instance of | |
| //! [`PeerId`](libp2p_identity::PeerId) and [`Config`]. | |
| //! | |
| //! [`Behaviour`]: struct.Behaviour.html | |
| //! ## Example | |
| //! | |
| //! For an example on how to use gossipsub, see the [chat-example](https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/tree/master/examples/chat). | |
