Did an RTT benchmark comparing my experimental p2p stack rnet vs libp2p rnet → ~220–300μs rust-libp2p → ~130–250μs py-libp2p → ~300–400μs Same machine, loopback libp2p: TCP + Noise + Yamux rnet: TCP + custom security (Deffie-Hellman based key-exchange) + Mplex rnet lagging behind by ~60μs implementation overhead from rust-libp2p rnet: https://github.com/lla-dane/rnet/
Built a secure transport layer today for my p2p stack. Raw streams -> negotiated -> encrypted (Deffie Hellman + ChaCha20Poly1305). Feels good seeing the pieces come together. PR: https://github.com/lla-dane/rnet/pull/2
Wrote a Floodsub module for scratch in my experimental p2p stack. Learned a great deal how pubsub broadcasting systems behave under the hood with complex rust async designs. Getting ready to write Gossipsub now.
Started writing an experimental p2p stack, rnet inspired from libp2p specs, to dig deeper into rust and core p2p mechanics.
