+## Crates
-karyons p2p serves as the foundational stack for the karyons project. It
-offers a modular, lightweight, and customizable p2p network stack that
-seamlessly integrates with any p2p project.
-
-### Architecture
-
-#### Discovery
-
-karyons p2p uses a customized version of the Kademlia for discovering new peers
-in the network. This approach is based on Kademlia but with several significant
-differences and optimizations. Some of the main changes:
-
-1. karyons p2p uses TCP for the lookup process, while UDP is used for
- validating and refreshing the routing table. The reason for this choice is
- that the lookup process is infrequent, and the work required to manage
- messages with UDP is largely equivalent to using TCP for this purpose.
- However, for the periodic and efficient sending of numerous Ping messages to
- the entries in the routing table during refreshing, it makes sense to
- use UDP.
-
-2. In contrast to traditional Kademlia, which often employs 160 buckets,
- karyons p2p reduces the number of buckets to 32. This optimization is a
- result of the observation that most nodes tend to map into the last few
- buckets, with the majority of other buckets remaining empty.
-
-3. While Kademlia typically uses a 160-bit key to identify a peer, karyons p2p
- uses a 256-bit key.
-
-> Despite criticisms of Kademlia's vulnerabilities, particularly concerning
-> Sybil and Eclipse attacks [[1]](https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/236.pdf)
-> [[2]](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.10141), we chose to use Kademlia because our
-> main goal is to build an infrastructure focused on sharing data. This choice
-> may also assist us in supporting sharding in the future. However, we have made
-> efforts to mitigate most of its vulnerabilities. Several projects, including
-> BitTorrent, Ethereum, IPFS, and Storj, still rely on Kademlia.
-
-#### Peer IDs
-
-Peers in the karyons p2p network are identified by their 256-bit (32-byte) Peer IDs.
-
-#### Seeding
-
-At the network's initiation, the client populates the routing table with peers
-closest to its key(PeerID) through a seeding process. Once this process is
-complete, and the routing table is filled, the client selects a random peer
-from the routing table and establishes an outbound connection. This process
-continues until all outbound slots are occupied.
-
-The client can optionally provide a listening endpoint to accept inbound
-connections.
-
-#### Handshake
-
-When an inbound or outbound connection is established, the client initiates a
-handshake with that connection. If the handshake is successful, the connection
-is added to the PeerPool.
-
-#### Protocols
-
-In the karyons p2p network, we have two types of protocols: core protocols and
-custom protocols. Core protocols are prebuilt into karyons p2p, such as the
-Ping protocol used to maintain connections. Custom protocols, on the other
-hand, are protocols that you define for your application to provide its core
-functionality.
-
-Here's an example of a custom protocol:
-
-```rust
-pub struct NewProtocol {
- peer: ArcPeer,
-}
-
-impl NewProtocol {
- fn new(peer: ArcPeer) -> ArcProtocol {
- Arc::new(Self {
- peer,
- })
- }
-}
-
-#[async_trait]
-impl Protocol for NewProtocol {
- async fn start(self: Arc<Self>, ex: Arc<Executor<'_>>) -> Result<(), P2pError> {
- let listener = self.peer.register_listener::<Self>().await;
- loop {
- let event = listener.recv().await.unwrap();
-
- match event {
- ProtocolEvent::Message(msg) => {
- println!("{:?}", msg);
- }
- ProtocolEvent::Shutdown => {
- break;
- }
- }
- }
-
- listener.cancel().await;
- Ok(())
- }
-
- fn version() -> Result<Version, P2pError> {
- "0.2.0, >0.1.0".parse()
- }
-
- fn id() -> ProtocolID {
- "NEWPROTOCOLID".into()
- }
-}
-
-```
-
-Whenever a new peer is added to the PeerPool, all the protocols, including
-your custom protocols, will automatically start running with the newly connected peer.
-
-### Network Security
-
-It's obvious that connections in karyons p2p are not secure at the moment, as
-it currently only supports TCP connections. However, we are currently working
-on adding support for TLS connections.
-
-### Usage
-
-You can check out the examples [here](./p2p/examples).
-
-If you have tmux installed, you can run the network simulation script in the
-examples directory to run 12 peers simultaneously.
