Protocols¶

This page describes the protocols used by Aybabtu for network communication between cores and between core and GUI.

Core <-> Core¶

Notes pour plus tards¶

• Le message HaveChunks doit être multicast et la réponse est un datagramme UDP. Il n'est pas possible de maintenir N-1 connexion TCP en permanence ou N est le nombre de peer. (à mesurer). DU coup ce message peut remplacer le IMAlive

See source:protos/network_protocol.proto for message details.

There is no more than one downloading from B to A. A peer which a download is active is setted as not free.

There is NbDownloadThread thread T. Each thread will choose a free chunk and download it. Here is the thread loop.

take the first file not finished -> f
for each chunk not download or not being downloaded takes the best one :
   c has a free peer -> p and p.downloadRate is the best.
   If there is some equals chunk, T will choose randomly among theses.
   If there is no free chunk then go to the next file.
   If the hash chunks of a file are unknown then the hashes are asked to the source, see the message _GetHashes _.

Parameters¶

Most parameters will be stored as constants in their component.

Core <-> GUI¶
