Explanation of the Reth P2P Stack design process
- Our initial design exploration started in #64, which focused on layering dependent subprotocols as generic async streams, then using those streams to construct higher level network abstractions.
- Following the above design, we then implemented
P2PStream
andEthStream
, corresponding to thep2p
andeth
subprotocol respectively. - The wire protocol used to decode messages in
EthStream
came from ethp2p, making it easy to get the full stack to work.
