This is a minimal implementation for a multiplexed p2p network based on yamux that supports mounting custom protocols.

1. Data stream transmission

 ----        ----------------        -----------        -------------        ----------        ------ 
|user| <--> | custom streams | <--> |Yamux frame| <--> |Secure stream| <--> |TCP stream| <--> |remote|
 ----        ----------------        -----------        -------------        ----------        ------ 

2. Code implementation

All data is passed through the futures channel, yamux splits the actual tcp/websocket stream into multiple substreams, and the service layer wraps the yamux substream into a protocol stream.

Detailed introduction: 中文/English

Note: It is not compatible with libp2p.

The API of this project is basically usable. However we still need more tests. PR is welcome.

The codes in the protocols/ directory are no longer maintained and only used as reference

[dependencies]
tentacle = { version = "0.4.0" }

1. Clone

$ git clone https://github.com/nervosnetwork/tentacle.git

2. On one terminal:

Listen on 127.0.0.1:1337

$ RUST_LOG=simple=info,tentacle=debug cargo run --example simple --features ws -- server

3. On another terminal:

$ RUST_LOG=simple=info,tentacle=debug cargo run --example simple

4. Now you can see some data interaction information on the terminal.

You can see more detailed example in these three repos:

• ckb
• cita
• muta
• axon
• godwoken

1. setup a ws server:

$ cd tentacle && RUST_LOG=info cargo run --example simple --features ws -- server

2. setup a browser client

$ cd simple_wasm/www && wasm-pack build
$ npm install && npm run start

all wasm code generate from book

3. Use a browser to visit http://localhost:8080/

4. Now you can see the connection on the server workbench or on browser's console

Implementations in other languages

• Go

Because when I use rust-libp2p, I have encountered some difficult problems, and it is difficult to locate whether it is my problem or the library itself, it is better to implement one myself.
