rust-libp2p-kad-swarm

Rust implementation of a minimal handshake session with Kademlia implementation under rust-libp2p.

While a responder "A" listens, the requester "B" sends a SYN<->SYN message to "A" using its [peer_id] and [address], "A" responds with SYN<->SYNACK and disconnects while "B" expects the SYN<->SYNACK and disconnects which makes this simple handshake conclude under a private, ephemeral and permissionless network connection provided by the rust-libp2p library.

It implements libp2p's kademlia dht networking routing, identify, noise, yamux, relay, ping, keep_alive and request_respond behaviour layers, which are available for node discovery and nat traversal tooling. It also includes two examples as demo, a responder/target and a requester/guest with ephemeral (random) peer ids for p2p connection per execution.

Because of the possible complications, the examples does not consider NAT traversal[1]. It should be able to reach the node's network address both inbound and outbound for it to succeed. On local network this should be trivial.

Build

$ cargo build

Run

$ cargo run

Tests

$ cargo test -- --nocapture

Protocol Test

Build the library, main binary and examples for both nodes A (responder) and B (requester):

$ cargo build --examples --release

Run the Responder A:

$ ./target/release/examples/responder

Wait for the [peer id] and [address] confirmation. If you are not sure about the NAT traversal of this address, the fastest try would be to look for a local address alternative which would be visible between both peers. From within the same host, 127.0.0.1 should work on most cases.

Run the requester "B" along with the arguments for [peer id] and [address] provided by "A":

$ ./target/release/examples/requester [peerid] [address]

Usage example:

$ ./target/release/examples/responder
Local PeerID : PeerId("12D3KooWFFYGHLUYL68rGRyQhYcJTWbLokAJ3c48LGFt5PmG3qeW")
PeerId("12D3KooWDgtynm4S9M3m6ZZhXYu2RrWKdvkCSScc25xKDVSg1Sjd") added in the Routing Table.
PeerId("12D3KooWNpGriWPmf621Lza9UWU9eLLBdCFaErf6d4HSK7Bcqnv4") added in the Routing Table.
PeerId("12D3KooWLmLiB4AenmN2g2mHbhNXbUcNiGi99sAkSk1kAQedp8uE") added in the Routing Table.
PeerId("12D3KooWEGHw84b4hfvXEfyq4XWEmWCbRGuHMHQMpby4BAtZ4xJf") added in the Routing Table.
PeerId("12D3KooWF9KDPRMN8WpeyXhEeURZGP8Dmo7go1tDqi7hTYpxV9uW") added in the Routing Table.
