Expand description

A NetworkBehaviour defines the behaviour of the local node on the network.

In contrast to Transport which defines how to send bytes on the network, NetworkBehaviour defines what bytes to send and to whom.

Each protocol (e.g. libp2p-ping, libp2p-identify or libp2p-kad) implements NetworkBehaviour. Multiple implementations of NetworkBehaviour can be composed into a hierarchy of NetworkBehaviours where parent implementations delegate to child implementations. Finally the root of the NetworkBehaviour hierarchy is passed to Swarm where it can then control the behaviour of the local node on a libp2p network.

Hierarchy of NetworkBehaviour

To compose multiple NetworkBehaviour implementations into a single NetworkBehaviour implementation, potentially building a multi-level hierarchy of NetworkBehaviours, one can use one of the NetworkBehaviour combinators, and/or use the NetworkBehaviour derive macro.

Combinators

NetworkBehaviour combinators wrap one or more NetworkBehaviour implementations and implement NetworkBehaviour themselves. Example is the Toggle NetworkBehaviour.

let my_behaviour = dummy::Behaviour;
let my_toggled_behaviour = Toggle::from(Some(my_behaviour));

Custom NetworkBehaviour with the Derive Macro

One can derive NetworkBehaviour for a custom struct via the #[derive(NetworkBehaviour)] proc macro re-exported by the libp2p crate. The macro generates a delegating trait implementation for the custom struct. Each NetworkBehaviour trait method is simply delegated to each struct member in the order the struct is defined. For example for NetworkBehaviour::poll it will first poll the first struct member until it returns Poll::Pending before moving on to later members. For NetworkBehaviour::addresses_of_peer it will delegate to each struct member and return a concatenated array of all addresses returned by the struct members.

Events (NetworkBehaviour::OutEvent) returned by each struct member are wrapped in a new enum event, with an enum variant for each struct member. Users can define this event enum themselves and provide the name to the derive macro via #[behaviour(out_event = "MyCustomOutEvent")]. If the user does not specify an out_event, the derive macro generates the event definition itself, naming it <STRUCT_NAME>Event.

The aforementioned conversion of each of the event types generated by the struct members to the custom out_event is handled by From implementations which the user needs to define in addition to the event enum itself.

#[derive(NetworkBehaviour)]
#[behaviour(out_event = "Event")]
struct MyBehaviour {
  identify: identify::Behaviour,
  ping: ping::Behaviour,
}

enum Event {
  Identify(identify::Event),
  Ping(ping::Event),
}

impl From<identify::Event> for Event {
  fn from(event: identify::Event) -> Self {
    Self::Identify(event)
  }
}

impl From<ping::Event> for Event {
  fn from(event: ping::Event) -> Self {
    Self::Ping(event)
  }
}

Required Associated Types§

Handler for all the protocols the network behaviour supports.

Event generated by the NetworkBehaviour and that the swarm will report back.

Required Methods§

Creates a new ConnectionHandler for a connection with a peer.

Every time an incoming connection is opened, and every time another NetworkBehaviour emitted a dial request, this method is called.

The returned object is a handler for that specific connection, and will be moved to a background task dedicated to that connection.

The network behaviour (ie. the implementation of this trait) and the handlers it has spawned (ie. the objects returned by new_handler) can communicate by passing messages. Messages sent from the handler to the behaviour are injected with NetworkBehaviour::inject_event, and the behaviour can send a message to the handler by making NetworkBehaviour::poll return NetworkBehaviourAction::NotifyHandler.

Note that the handler is returned to the NetworkBehaviour on connection failure and connection closing.

Polls for things that swarm should do.

This API mimics the API of the Stream trait. The method may register the current task in order to wake it up at a later point in time.

Provided Methods§

Addresses that this behaviour is aware of for this specific peer, and that may allow reaching the peer.

The addresses will be tried in the order returned by this function, which means that they should be ordered by decreasing likelihood of reachability. In other words, the first address should be the most likely to be reachable.

Informs the behaviour about an event from the Swarm.

Informs the behaviour about an event generated by the ConnectionHandler dedicated to the peer identified by peer_id. for the behaviour.

The PeerId is guaranteed to be in a connected state. In other words, FromSwarm::ConnectionEstablished has previously been received with this PeerId.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::ConnectionEstablished in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Informs the behaviour about a newly established connection to a peer.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::ConnectionClosed in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Informs the behaviour about a closed connection to a peer.

A call to this method is always paired with an earlier call to NetworkBehaviour::inject_connection_established with the same peer ID, connection ID and endpoint.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::AddressChange in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Informs the behaviour that the ConnectedPoint of an existing connection has changed.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Implement NetworkBehaviour::on_connection_handler_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Informs the behaviour about an event generated by the handler dedicated to the peer identified by peer_id. for the behaviour.

The peer_id is guaranteed to be in a connected state. In other words, NetworkBehaviour::inject_connection_established has previously been called with this PeerId.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle InEvent::DialFailure in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Indicates to the behaviour that the dial to a known or unknown node failed.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::ListenFailure in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Indicates to the behaviour that an error happened on an incoming connection during its initial handshake.

This can include, for example, an error during the handshake of the encryption layer, or the connection unexpectedly closed.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::NewListener in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Indicates to the behaviour that a new listener was created.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::NewListenAddr in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Indicates to the behaviour that we have started listening on a new multiaddr.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::ExpiredListenAddr in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Indicates to the behaviour that a multiaddr we were listening on has expired, which means that we are no longer listening on it.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::ListenerError in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

A listener experienced an error.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::ListenerClosed in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

A listener closed.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::NewExternalAddr in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Indicates to the behaviour that we have discovered a new external address for us.

👎Deprecated since 0.40.2: Handle FromSwarm::ExpiredExternalAddr in NetworkBehaviour::on_swarm_event instead. The default implementation of this inject_* method delegates to it.

Indicates to the behaviour that an external address was removed.

Implementations on Foreign Types§

Implementation of NetworkBehaviour that can be either of two implementations.
