Usage (Local Deployment)
Seed Node
First you must run a seed node. The seed node is a static host which nodes can
connect to when they first connect to the network. The seed_session simply
connects to a seed node and runs protocol_seed, which requests a list of
addresses from the seed node and disconnects straight after receiving them.
in config file:
## P2P accept address
inbound="127.0.0.1:11001"
Note that the above config doesn't specify an external address since the seed node shouldn't be advertised in the list of connectable nodes. The seed node does not participate as a normal node in the p2p network. It simply allows new nodes to discover other nodes in the network during the bootstrapping phase.
Inbound Node
This is a node accepting inbound connections on the network but which is not making any outbound connections.
The external address is important and must be correct.
in config file:
## P2P accept address
inbound="127.0.0.1:11002"
## P2P external address
external_addr="127.0.0.1:11002"
## Seed nodes to connect to
seeds=["127.0.0.1:11001"]
Outbound Node
This is a node which has 8 outbound connection slots and no inbound connections. This means the node has 8 slots which will actively search for unique nodes to connect to in the p2p network.
in config file:
## Connection slots
outbound_connections=5
## Seed nodes to connect to
seeds=["127.0.0.1:11001"]
