## Ping
|
|
|
|
Ping message sent by new node who wants to join in the consensus.
|
|
The message is broadcasted to the shard.
|
|
It contains the public BLS key of consensus and the peerID of the node.
|
|
For backward compatibility, it still contains the IP/Port of the node,
|
|
but it will be removed once the full integration of libp2p is finished as the IP/Port is not needed.
|
|
|
|
It also contains a Role field to indicate if the node is a client node or regular node, as client node
|
|
won't join the consensus.
|
|
|
|
## Pong
|
|
|
|
Pong message is sent by leader to all validators, once the leader has enough validators.
|
|
It contains a list of peers and the corresponding BLS public keys.
|
|
Noted, the list of peers may not be needed once we have libp2p fully integrated.
|
|
The order of the peers and keys are important to the consensus.
|
|
|
|
At bootstrap, the Pong message is sent out and then the consensus should start.
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
The following two todo should be worked on once we have full libp2p integration.
|
|
For network security reason, we should in general not expose the IP/Port of the node.
|
|
|
|
-[] remove peer info in Ping message, only keep peerID, which should be sufficient for p2p communication.
|
|
-[] remove peer list from Pong message.
