pub struct KademliaConfig { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

The configuration for the Kademlia behaviour.

The configuration is consumed by Kademlia::new.

Implementations

source

impl KademliaConfig

source

pub fn set_protocol_name(
&mut self,
name: impl Into<Cow<'static, [u8 ]>>
) -> &mut Self

Sets a custom protocol name.

Kademlia nodes only communicate with other nodes using the same protocol name. Using a custom name therefore allows to segregate the DHT from others, if that is desired.

source

pub fn set_query_timeout(&mut self, timeout: Duration) -> &mut Self

Sets the timeout for a single query.

Note: A single query usually comprises at least as many requests as the replication factor, i.e. this is not a request timeout.

The default is 60 seconds.

source

pub fn set_replication_factor(
&mut self,
replication_factor: NonZeroUsize
) -> &mut Self

Sets the replication factor to use.

The replication factor determines to how many closest peers a record is replicated. The default is K_VALUE.

source

pub fn set_parallelism(&mut self, parallelism: NonZeroUsize) -> &mut Self

Sets the allowed level of parallelism for iterative queries.

The α parameter in the Kademlia paper. The maximum number of peers that an iterative query is allowed to wait for in parallel while iterating towards the closest nodes to a target. Defaults to ALPHA_VALUE.

This only controls the level of parallelism of an iterative query, not the level of parallelism of a query to a fixed set of peers.

When used with KademliaConfig::disjoint_query_paths it equals the amount of disjoint paths used.

source

pub fn disjoint_query_paths(&mut self, enabled: bool) -> &mut Self

Require iterative queries to use disjoint paths for increased resiliency in the presence of potentially adversarial nodes.

When enabled the number of disjoint paths used equals the configured parallelism.

See the S/Kademlia paper for more information on the high level design as well as its security improvements.

source

pub fn set_record_ttl(&mut self, record_ttl: Option<Duration>) -> &mut Self

Sets the TTL for stored records.

The TTL should be significantly longer than the (re-)publication interval, to avoid premature expiration of records. The default is 36 hours.

None means records never expire.

Does not apply to provider records.

source

pub fn set_replication_interval(
&mut self,
interval: Option<Duration>
) -> &mut Self

Sets the (re-)replication interval for stored records.

Periodic replication of stored records ensures that the records are always replicated to the available nodes closest to the key in the context of DHT topology changes (i.e. nodes joining and leaving), thus ensuring persistence until the record expires. Replication does not prolong the regular lifetime of a record (for otherwise it would live forever regardless of the configured TTL). The expiry of a record is only extended through re-publication.

This interval should be significantly shorter than the publication interval, to ensure persistence between re-publications. The default is 1 hour.

None means that stored records are never re-replicated.

Does not apply to provider records.

source

pub fn set_publication_interval(
&mut self,
interval: Option<Duration>
) -> &mut Self

Sets the (re-)publication interval of stored records.

Records persist in the DHT until they expire. By default, published records are re-published in regular intervals for as long as the record exists in the local storage of the original publisher, thereby extending the records lifetime.

This interval should be significantly shorter than the record TTL, to ensure records do not expire prematurely. The default is 24 hours.

None means that stored records are never automatically re-published.

Does not apply to provider records.
