The network protocol deals with these data structures:
- a
PrivateKey, the private key of a node. - a
PublicKey, the public key of a node. - a
PeerId, a hash of a node's public key. - a
PeerInfo, an object containing a node'sPeerIdand its known multiaddrs. - a
Transport, a transport used to establish connections to other peers. See https://github.com/libp2p/interface-transport. - a
Connection, a point-to-point link between two nodes. Must implement https://github.com/libp2p/interface-connection. - a
Muxed-Stream, a duplex message channel. - a
Stream-Muxer, a stream multiplexer. Must implement https://github.com/libp2p/interface-stream-muxer. - a
Record, IPLD (IPFS Linked Data) described object that implements IPRS. - a
multiaddr, a self describable network address. See https://github.com/multiformats/multiaddr. - a
multicodec, a self describable encoding type. See https://github.com/multiformats/multicodec. - a
multihash, a self describable hash. See https://github.com/multiformats/multihash.
