Crate sc_network_sync

Contains the state of the chain synchronization process

At any given point in time, a running node tries as much as possible to be at the head of the chain. This module handles the logic of which blocks to request from remotes, and processing responses. It yields blocks to check and potentially move to the database.

Usage

The ChainSync struct maintains the state of the block requests. Whenever something happens on the network, or whenever a block has been successfully verified, call the appropriate method in order to update it.

Modules

  Contains a mock implementation of ChainSync that can be used for testing calls made to ChainSync.
• service
  ChainSync-related service code
• state
  State sync support.
• state_request_handler
  Helper for handling (i.e. answering) state requests from a remote peer via the crate::request_responses::RequestResponsesBehaviour.

  All the data we have about a Peer that we are trying to sync with

Enums
