Warning: This library is now deprecated and has been replaced by fabric.
Network allows peers to communicate via various user-defined protocols, it tries to abstracts peer discovery, connection, stream multiplexing, etc.
- Protocol selection is handled by
multiformats/go-multistream. - Mutliplexing is handled by
nimona/go-nimona-mux. - Peer discovery will be handled by
nimona/go-kad-dht. - Peers are managed by an internal peerstore so the dht and other parts can add/remove peers.
Once a TCP connection is established, the /nimux/v1.0.0 will be selected.
After that, both client and server will be able to open new streams using mux
and negotiate any protocol they support without having to open new TCP or
other connections.
Only TCP transport is currently supported.
