This commit affects p2p/discv5 "topic discovery" by running it on
the same UDP port where the old discovery works. This is realized
by giving an "unhandled" packet channel to the old v4 discovery
packet handler where all invalid packets are sent. These packets
are then processed by v5. v5 packets are always invalid when
interpreted by v4 and vice versa. This is ensured by adding one
to the first byte of the packet hash in v5 packets.
DiscoveryV5Bootnodes is also changed to point to new bootnodes
that are implementing the changed packet format with modified
hash. Existing and new v5 bootnodes are both running on different
ports ATM.
This PR implements the new LES protocol version extensions:
* new and more efficient Merkle proofs reply format (when replying to
a multiple Merkle proofs request, we just send a single set of trie
nodes containing all necessary nodes)
* BBT (BloomBitsTrie) works similarly to the existing CHT and contains
the bloombits search data to speed up log searches
* GetTxStatusMsg returns the inclusion position or the
pending/queued/unknown state of a transaction referenced by hash
* an optional signature of new block data (number/hash/td) can be
included in AnnounceMsg to provide an option for "very light
clients" (mobile/embedded devices) to skip expensive Ethash check
and accept multiple signatures of somewhat trusted servers (still a
lot better than trusting a single server completely and retrieving
everything through RPC). The new client mode is not implemented in
this PR, just the protocol extension.
- follow up locks and fix them
- chainManager: call SetQueued for parentErr future blocks, uncomment TD checks, unskip test
- make ErrIncorrectTD non-fatal to be forgiving to genuine mistaken nodes (temp) but demote them to guard against stuck best peers.
- add purging to bounded nodeCache (config nodeCacheSize)
- use nodeCache when creating blockpool entries and let non-best peers add blocks (performance boost)
- minor error in addError
- reduce idleBestPeerTimeout to 1 minute
- correct status counts and unskip status passing status test
- glogified logging
