| ## Description | |
| The rendezvous protocol example showcases how to implement a rendezvous server and interact with it using different binaries. | |
| The rendezvous server facilitates peer registration and discovery, enabling peers to find and communicate with each other in a decentralized manner. | |
| ## Usage | |
| To run the example, follow these steps: | |
| 1. Start the rendezvous server by running the following command: | |
| ```sh | |
| RUST_LOG=info cargo run --bin rendezvous-example | |
| ``` | |
| This command starts the rendezvous server, which will listen for incoming connections and handle peer registrations and discovery. | |
| 2. Register a peer by executing the following command: | |
| ```sh | |
| RUST_LOG=info cargo run --bin rzv-register | |
| ``` | |
| This command registers a peer with the rendezvous server, allowing the peer to be discovered by other peers. | |
| 3. Try to discover the registered peer from the previous step by running the following command: | |
| ```sh | |
| RUST_LOG=info cargo run --bin rzv-discover | |
| ``` | |
| This command attempts to discover the registered peer using the rendezvous server. | |
| If successful, it will print the details of the discovered peer. | |
| 4. Additionally, you can try discovering a peer using the identify protocol by executing the following command: | |
| ```sh | |
| RUST_LOG=info cargo run --bin rzv-identify | |
| ``` | |
| This command demonstrates peer discovery using the identify protocol. | |
| It will print the peer's identity information if successful. | |
| 5. Experiment with different registrations, discoveries, and combinations of protocols to explore the capabilities of the rendezvous protocol and libp2p library. | |
| ## Conclusion | |
| The rendezvous protocol example provides a practical demonstration of how to implement peer registration and discovery using **libp2p**. | |
| By running the rendezvous server and utilizing the provided binaries, users can register peers and discover them in a decentralized network. | |
| Feel free to explore the code and customize the behavior of the rendezvous server and the binaries to suit your specific use cases. | |
