This change works around the 32k RDATA character limit per change
request and fixes several issues in the deployer which prevented it from
working for our production trees.
* p2p/dnsdisc: add support for enode.Iterator
This changes the dnsdisc.Client API to support the enode.Iterator
interface.
* p2p/dnsdisc: rate-limit DNS requests
* p2p/dnsdisc: preserve linked trees across root updates
This improves the way links are handled when the link root changes.
Previously, sync would simply remove all links from the current tree and
garbage-collect all unreachable trees before syncing the new list of
links.
This behavior isn't great in certain cases: Consider a structure where
trees A, B, and C reference each other and D links to A. If D's link
root changed, the sync code would first remove trees A, B and C, only to
re-sync them later when the link to A was found again.
The fix for this problem is to track the current set of links in each
clientTree and removing old links only AFTER all links are synced.
* p2p/dnsdisc: deflake iterator test
* cmd/devp2p: adapt dnsClient to new p2p/dnsdisc API
* p2p/dnsdisc: tiny comment fix
This adds an implementation of node discovery via DNS TXT records to the
go-ethereum library. The implementation doesn't match EIP-1459 exactly,
the main difference being that this implementation uses separate merkle
trees for tree links and ENRs. The EIP will be updated to match p2p/dnsdisc.
To maintain DNS trees, cmd/devp2p provides a frontend for the p2p/dnsdisc
library. The new 'dns' subcommands can be used to create, sign and deploy DNS
discovery trees.
* p2p/discover: export Ping and RequestENR
These two are useful for checking the status of a node.
* cmd/devp2p: add devp2p debug tool
This is a new tool for debugging p2p issues. It supports a few
basic tasks for now, but many more things can and will be added
in the near future.
devp2p enrdump -- prints ENRs readably
devp2p discv4 ping -- checks if a node is up
devp2p discv4 requestenr -- gets a node's record
devp2p discv4 resolve -- finds a node through the DHT
