This code borrows and fixes up a chunk of code to handle upnp from
Taipei-Torrent (https://github.com/jackpal/Taipei-Torrent), under
current versions of go none of the xml parsing was working correctly.
This fixes that and also refactors the SOAP code to be a little nicer by
stripping off the soap containers. It is still rather rough but seems to
correctly redirect ports and advertise the correct address.
Upnp is not run by default. --upnp will enable it, but it will still not
run if we are not listening or if --externalip is in use.
Closes#51
This implements only the bare bones of external ip address selection
using very similar algorithms and selection methods to bitcoind. Every
address we bind to, and if we bind to the wildcard, every listening
address is recorded, and one for the appropriate address type of the
peer is selected.
Support for fetching addresses via upnp, external services, or via the
command line are not yet implemented.
Closes#35
Also, make every subsystem within btcd use its own logger instance so each
subsystem can have its own level specified independent of the others.
This is work towards #48.
This allows the provision of address/port pairs to be listened on instead
of just providing the port. e.g.:
btcd --listen 1.2.3.4:4321 --listen 127.0.0.01 --listen [::1]:5432
When --proxy and --connect are used, we disable listening *unless* any --listen
arguments have been provided, when we will listen on those addresses as
requested.
Initial code by davec, integration by myself.
Closes#33
allow listens to fail, but warn. error if all failed

persistentpeers and outbound(nonpersistent) peers get their own lists,
so iterating over them can be much simpler (and quicker when you have
125 peer of which 8 are outbound).
We have a channel for queries and commands in server, where we pass in
args and the channel to reply from, let rpcserver use these interfaces
to provide the requistie information.
So far not all of the informaation is 100% correct, the syncpeer
information needs to be fetched from blockmanager, the subversion isn't
recorded and the number of bytes sent and recieved needs to be obtained
from btcwire. The rest should be correct.
If we don't hear from a peer for 5 minutes, we disconnect them. To keep
traffic flowing we send a ping every 2 minutes if we have not send any
other message that should get a reply.
This commit is a first pass at improving the logging. It changes a number
of things to improve the readability of the output. The biggest addition
is message summaries for each message type when using the debug logging
level.
There is sitll more to do here such as allowing the level of each
subsystem to be independently specified, syslog support, and allowing the
logging level to be changed run-time.
Also, the loops which only remove a single element and break or return
don't need the extra logic for iteration since they don't continue
iteration after removal.
It is not safe to remove an item from a container/list while iterating the
list without first saving the next pointer since removing the item nils
the internal list element's next pointer.
This commit is a rather large one which implements transaction pool and
relay according to the protocol rules of the reference implementation.
It makes use of btcchain to ensure the transactions are valid for the
block chain and includes several stricter checks which determine if they
are "standard" or not before admitting them into the pool and relaying
them.
There are still a few TODOs around the more strict rules which determine
which transactions are willing to be mined, but the core checks which
are imperative (everything except the all of the "standard" checks really)
to operate as a good citizen on the bitcoin network are in place.
Rather than having all of the various places that print peer figure out
the direction and form the string, centralize it by implementing the
Stringer interface on the peer.
Only log errors for most cases if the peer is persisent (and thus requested).
Only log by default after version exchange, and after losing a peer that had
completed version exchange. Make most other messages debug.
We would occasionally hang or a while during server shudown, this is due
to an outbound peer waiting on a connection or a sleep. However, we
don't actually require to wait for the peers to finish at all. So just
let them finish.
Secondly, make peer.disconnnect and server.shutdown atomic varaibles so
that checking them from multiple goroutines isn't race, and clean up
their usage.
- Remove leftover debug log prints
- Increment waitgroup outside of goroutine
- Various comment and log message consistency
- Combine peer setup and newPeer -> newInboundPeer
- Save and load peers.json to/from cfg.DataDir
- Only claim addrmgr needs more addresses when it has less than 1000
- Add warning if unkown peer on orphan block.
Use it to add multiple peer support. We try and keep 8 outbound peers
active at all times.
This address manager is not as complete as the one in bitcoind yet, but
additional functionality is being worked on.
We currently handle (in a similar manner to bitcoind):
- biasing between new and already tried addresses based on number of connected
peers.
- rejection of non-default ports until desparate
- address selection probabilities based on last successful connection and number
of failures.
- routability checks based on known unroutable subnets.
- only connecting to each network `group' once at any one time.
We currently lack support for:
- tor ``addresses'' (an .onion address encoded in 64 bytes of ip address)
- full state save and restore (we just save a json with the list of known
addresses in it)
- multiple buckets for new and tried addresses selected by a hash of address and
source. The current algorithm functions the same as bitcoind would with only
one bucket for new and tried (making the address cache rather smaller than it
otherwise would be).
This commit changes the code so that all calls to .Add on waitgroups
happen before the associated goroutines are launched. Doing this after
the goroutine could technically cause a race where the goroutine started
and finished before the main goroutine has a chance to increment the
counter. In our particular case none of the goroutines exit quickly
enough for this to be an issue, but nevertheless the correct way should be
used.
This commit adds support for relaying blocks between peers. It keeps
track of inventory that has either already been advertised to remote peers
or advertised by remote peers using a size-limited most recently used
cache. This helps avoid relaying inventory the peer already knows as
much as possible while not allowing rogue peers to eat up arbitrary
amounts of memory with bogus inventory.
The commit reworks the server statup and shutdown sequence to ensure the
server can always shutdown cleanly. The peer code depends on being able
to send messages to the address and block managers, so they need to have
their lifecycle tied to the peer handler to prevent issues with
asynchronous shutdown order.
