This is a little bit of a tip-of-the-iceberg PR. It houses a lot of code changes in the libp2p dependency.
This needs a bit of thorough testing before merging.
The primary code changes are:
- General libp2p dependency update
- Gossipsub refactor to shift compression into gossipsub providing performance improvements and improved API for handling compression

## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Fixes multiple issues related to discovering of subnet peers.
1. Subnet discovery retries after yielding no results
2. Metadata updates if peer send older metadata
3. peerdb stores the peer subscriptions from gossipsub
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Fixes problems with slot times below 1 second which got revealed by running the syncing simulator with the default speedup time.
## Issue Addressed
Related to #1891, The error is not in the spec yet (see ethereum/eth2.0-specs#2131)
## Proposed Changes
Implement the proposed error, banning peers that send it
## Additional Info
NA
## Issue Addressed
#2046
## Proposed Changes
The log was originally intended to verify the correct logic and ordering of events when scoring peers. The queued tasks can be structured in such a way that peers can be banned after they are disconnected. Therefore the error log is now downgraded to debug log.
## Issue Addressed
#1992 and #1987, and also to be considered a continuation of #1751
## Proposed Changes
many changed files but most are renaming to align the code with the semantics of `--network`
- remove the `--network` default value (in clap) and instead set it after checking the `network` and `testnet-dir` flags
- move `eth2_testnet_config` crate to `eth2_network_config`
- move `Eth2TestnetConfig` to `Eth2NetworkConfig`
- move `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_TESTNET` to `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK`
- `beacon_node`s `get_eth2_testnet_config` loads the `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK` if there is no network nor testnet provided
- `boot_node`s config loads the config same as the `beacon_node`, it was using the configuration only for preconfigured networks (That code is ~1year old so I asume it was not intended)
- removed a one year old comment stating we should try to emulate `https://github.com/eth2-clients/eth2-testnets/tree/master/nimbus/testnet1` it looks outdated (?)
- remove `lighthouse`s `load_testnet_config` in favor of `get_eth2_network_config` to centralize that logic (It had differences)
- some spelling
## Additional Info
Both the command of #1992 and the scripts of #1987 seem to work fine, same as `bn` and `vc`
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
This was mostly done to find the reason why LH was dropping peers from Nimbus. It proved to be useful so I think it's worth it. But there is also some functional stuff here
- Add metrics for rpc errors per client, error type and direction
- Add metrics for downscoring events per source type, client and penalty type
- Add metrics for gossip validation results per client for non-accepted messages
- Make the RPC handler return errors and requests/responses in the order we see them
- Allow a small burst for the Ping rate limit, from 1 every 5 seconds to 2 every 10 seconds
- Send rate limiting errors with a particular code and use that same code to identify them. I picked something different to 128 since that is most likely what other clients are using for their own errors
- Remove some unused code in the `PeerAction` and the rpc handler
- Remove the unused variant `RateLimited`. tTis was never produced directly, since the only way to get the request's protocol is via de handler. The handler upon receiving from LH a response with an error (rate limited in this case) emits this event with the missing info (It was always like this, just pointing out that we do downscore rate limiting errors regardless of the change)
Metrics for Nimbus looked like this:
Downscoring events: `increase(libp2p_peer_actions_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
RPC Errors: `increase(libp2p_rpc_errors_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
Unaccepted gossip message: `increase(gossipsub_unaccepted_messages_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Updates out of date dependencies.
## Additional Info
See also https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1712 for a list of dependencies that are still out of date and the resasons.
Adds a `--privacy` CLI flag to the beacon node that users may opt into.
This does two things:
- Removes client identifying information from the identify libp2p protocol
- Changes the default graffiti to "" if no graffiti is set.
## Issue Addressed
Following slog's documentation, this should help a bit with string allocations. I left it run for two days and mem usage is lower. This is of course anecdotal, but shouldn't harm anyway
## Proposed Changes
remove `String` creation in logs when possible
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
This was causing:
```
Nov 28 21:56:08.154 ERRO slog-async: logger dropped messages due to channel overflow, count: 44, service: libp2p
```
## Additional Info
NA
## Description
This PR updates Lighthouse to tokio 0.3. It includes a number of dependency updates and some structural changes as to how we create and spawn tasks.
This also brings with it a number of various improvements:
- Discv5 update
- Libp2p update
- Fix for recompilation issues
- Improved UPnP port mapping handling
- Futures dependency update
- Log downgrade to traces for rejecting peers when we've reached our max

## Issue Addressed
- Add metrics to keep track of peer counts by sync type
- Add metric to keep track of the number of syncing chains in range
## Proposed Changes
Plugin to the network metrics update interval and update too the counts for peers wrt to their sync status with us
## Additional Info
For the peer counts
- By the way it is implemented the numbers won't always match to the total peer count in the `libp2p` metric.
- Updating the gauge with every change is messy because it requires to be updated on connection (in the `eth2_libp2p` crate, while metrics are defined in the `network` crate) on Goodbye sent (for an `IrrelevantPeer`) either in the `beacon_processor` or the `peer_manager`, and on disconnection. Since this is not a critical metric I think counting once every second is enough. If you think more accuracy is needed we can do it too, but it would be harder to maintain)
ATM those look like this
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds the `--import-all-attestations` flag which tells the `network::AttestationService` to import/aggregate all attestations after verification (instead of only ones for subnets that are relevant to local validators).
This is useful for testing/debugging and also for creating back-up nodes that should be all cached up and ready for any validator.
## Additional Info
NA
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Removes most of the temporary string initializations in network metrics and replaces them by directly using `&str`. This further improves on PR https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/1895.
For the subnet id handling the current approach uses a build script to create a static map. This has the disadvantage that the build script hardcodes the number of subnets. If we want to use more than 64 subnets we need to adjust this in the build script.
## Additional Info
We still have some string initializations for the enum `PeerKind`. To also replace that by `&str` I created a PR in the libp2p dependency: https://github.com/sigp/rust-libp2p/pull/91. Either we wait with merging until this dependency PR is merged (and all conflicts with the newest libp2p version are resolved) or we just merge as is and I will create another PR when the dependency is ready.
This PR adds a number of improvements:
- Downgrade a warning log when we ignore blocks for gossipsub processing
- Revert a a correction to improve logging of peer score changes
- Shift syncing DB reads off the core-executor allowing parallel processing of large sync messages
- Correct the timeout logic of RPC chunk sends, giving more time before timing out RPC outbound messages.
## Issue Addressed
- RPC Errors were being logged twice: first in the peer manager and then again in the router, so leave just the peer manager's one
- The "reduce peer count" warn message gets thrown to the user for every missed chunk, so instead print it when the request times out and also do not include there info that is not relevant to the user
- The processor didn't have the service tag so add it
- Impl `KV` for status message
- Do not downscore peers if we are the ones that timed out
Other small improvements
## Issue Addressed
#1856
## Proposed Changes
- For clarity, the router's processor now only decides if a peer is compatible and it disconnects it or sends it to sync accordingly. No logic here regarding how useful is the peer.
- Update peer_sync_info's rules
- Add an `IrrelevantPeer` sync status to account for incompatible peers (maybe this should be "IncompatiblePeer" now that I think about it?) this state is update upon receiving an internal goodbye in the peer manager
- Misc code cleanups
- Reduce the need to create `StatusMessage`s (and thus, `Arc` accesses )
- Add missing calls to update the global sync state
The overall effect should be:
- More peers recognized as Behind, and less as Unknown
- Peers identified as incompatible
## Issue Addressed
- Asymmetric pings - Currently with symmetric ping intervals, lighthouse nodes race each other to ping often ending in simultaneous ping connections. This shifts the ping interval to be asymmetric based on inbound/outbound connections
- Correct inbound/outbound peer-db registering - It appears we were accounting inbound as outbound and vice versa in the peerdb, this has been corrected
- Improved logging
There is likely more to come - I'll leave this open as we investigate further testnets
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Correctly handles peer state transitions on gossipsub changes + refactors handling of peer state transitions into one function used for lighthouse score changes and gossipsub score changes.
Co-authored-by: Age Manning <Age@AgeManning.com>
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Increases the target peers for a subnet, so that subnet queries are executed until we have at least the minimum required peers for a mesh (`MESH_N_LOW`). We keep the limit of `6` target peers for aggregated subnet discovery queries, therefore the size (and the time needed) for a query doesn't change.
## Issue Addressed
#1606
## Proposed Changes
Uses dynamic gossipsub scoring parameters depending on the number of active validators as specified in https://gist.github.com/blacktemplar/5c1862cb3f0e32a1a7fb0b25e79e6e2c.
## Additional Info
Although the parameters got tested on Medalla, extensive testing using simulations on larger networks is still to be done and we expect that we need to change the parameters, although this might only affect constants within the dynamic parameter framework.
Updates libp2p to the latest version.
This adds tokio 0.3 support and brings back yamux support.
This also updates some discv5 configuration parameters for leaner discovery queries
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Lets the networking behavior ignore messages of peers that are not connected. Furthermore, old peers are not removed from the peerdb based on score anymore but based on the disconnection time.
## Issue Addressed
Fixes head syncing
## Proposed Changes
- Get back to statusing peers after removing chain segments and making the peer manager deal with status according to the Sync status, preventing an old known deadlock
- Also a bug where a chain would get removed if the optimistic batch succeeds being empty
## Additional Info
Tested on Medalla and looking good
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Currently a banned peer will remain banned indefinitely as long as update is called on the score struct regularly. This fixes this bug and the score decay starts after `BANNED_BEFORE_DECAY` seconds after banning.
## Issue Addressed
#1825
## Proposed Changes
Since we penalize more blocks by range requests that have large steps, it is possible to get requests that will never be processed. We were not informing peers about this requests and also logging CRIT that is no longer relevant. Later we should check if more sophisticated handling for those requests is needed
## Issue Addressed
Further testing revealed another edge case where we attempt to unban a peer that can be in a disconnected start. Although this causes no real issue, it does log an error to the user.
This PR adds a check to prevent this edge case and prevents the error being logged to the user.
This PR prevents a user-facing error.
It prevents optimistically unbanning a peer and instead checks the state of the peer before requesting the peers state to be unbanned.
As @AgeManning mentioned the newest libp2p version had some problems and got downgraded again on lighthouse master. This is an intermediate version that makes no problems and only adds a small change of allowing only one topic per message.
## Description
This downgrades the recent libp2p upgrade.
There were issues with the RPC which prevented syncing of the chain and this upgrade needs to be further investigated.
## Overview
This updates lighthouse to discovery v5.1
Note: This makes lighthouse's discovery not compatible with any previous version. Lighthouse cannot discover peers or send/receive ENR's from any previous version. This is a breaking change.
This resolves#1605
## Description
Updates to the latest libp2p and includes gossipsub updates.
Of particular note is the limitation of a single topic per gossipsub message.
Co-authored-by: blacktemplar <blacktemplar@a1.net>
## Issue Addressed
Potentially resolves#1647 and sync stalls.
## Proposed Changes
The handling of the state of banned peers was inadequate for the complex peerdb data structure. We store a limited number of disconnected and banned peers in the db. We were not tracking intermediate "disconnecting" states and the in some circumstances we were updating the peer state without informing the peerdb. This lead to a number of inconsistencies in the peer state.
Further, the peer manager could ban a peer changing a peer's state from being connected to banned. In this circumstance, if the peer then disconnected, we didn't inform the application layer, which lead to applications like sync not being informed of a peers disconnection. This could lead to sync stalling and having to require a lighthouse restart.
Improved handling for peer states and interactions with the peerdb is made in this PR.
## Issue Addressed
`node` endpoints in #1434
## Proposed Changes
Implement these:
```
/eth/v1/node/health
/eth/v1/node/peers/{peer_id}
/eth/v1/node/peers
```
- Add an `Option<Enr>` to `PeerInfo`
- Finish implementation of `/eth/v1/node/identity`
## Additional Info
- should update the `peers` endpoints when #1764 is resolved
Co-authored-by: realbigsean <seananderson33@gmail.com>
check for advanced peers and the state of the chain wrt the clock slot to decide if a chain is or not synced /transitioning to a head sync. Also a fix that prevented getting the right state while syncing heads
## Issue Addressed
#1614 and a couple of sync-stalling problems, the most important is a cyclic dependency between the sync manager and the peer manager
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds a direction field to `PeerConnectionStatus` that can be accessed by calling `is_outgoing` which will return `true` iff the peer is connected and the first connection was an outgoing one.
## Issue Addressed
#1729#1730
Which issue # does this PR address?
## Proposed Changes
1. Fixes a bug in the simulator where nodes can't find each other due to 0 udp ports in their enr.
2. Fixes bugs in attestation service where we are unsubscribing from a subnet prematurely.
More testing is needed for attestation service fixes.
## Proposed Changes
Adds a gossipsub topic filter that only allows subscribing and incoming subscriptions from valid ETH2 topics.
## Additional Info
Currently the preparation of the valid topic hashes uses only the current fork id but in the future it must also use all possible future fork ids for planned forks. This has to get added when hard coded forks get implemented.
DO NOT MERGE: We first need to merge the libp2p changes (see https://github.com/sigp/rust-libp2p/pull/70) so that we can refer from here to a commit hash inside the lighthouse branch.
