Logic borrowed from bitcoin, see CNetAddr::GetGroup() in src/netaddress.cpp
Simplified, so may not work fully identically but for our purposes it's good
enough. Won't connect to more than one host from a /16 subnet on IPv4 and a /32
subnet on IPv6.
- dandelion fixes
- try to wait as long as possible before expiration if there are no
outbound connections
- expire in invThread rather than singleCleaner thread
- deduplication of code in inv and dinv command methods
- turn on by default, seems to work correctly now
- turn off dandelion if outbound connections are disabled
- start tracking downloads earlier, and faster download loop
- remove some obsolete lines
- minor PEP8 updates
- allow loopback addresses, now you can bind different loopback IP
addresses on a single system and they will auto-cross-connect
- always listen for discovery on 0.0.0.0
- [network] - bind now also applies for the TCP socket as well as UDP
socket
- closing socket iterator fix
- asyncore is now on by default
- inv announcements implemented
- bandwidth limit implemented / fixed
- stats on download / upload speed now work
- make prints into logger
- limit knownNodes to 20k as it was before
- green light fixed
- other minor fixes
- bugfixes
- UDP socket for local peer discovery
- new function assembleAddr to unify creating address command
- open port checker functionality (inactive)
- sendBigInv is done in a thread separate from the network IO
thread
- separate queue for processing blocking stuff on reception
- rewrote write buffer as a queue
- some addr handling
- number of half open connections correct
- most of the stuff is done so it partially works
- disabled pollers other than select (debugging necessary)
- can switch in the settings, section network, option asyncore (defaults
to False)
- version command struct for faster unpacking
- increase read buffer to 2MB to allow a full command to fit
- initial bitmessage protocol class (WIP)
- error handling
- remove duplicate method
- networkDefaultProofOfWorkNonceTrialsPerByte and
networkDefaultPayloadLengthExtraBytes cyclic import fix
- PyBitmessage should launch now when there's no keys.dat
- version command sends list of all participating streams
- biginv sends lists of hosts for all streams the peer wants (plus
immediate children)
- objects will spread to all peers that advertise the associated stream
- please note these are just network subsystem adjustments, streams
aren't actually usable yet
