Module multiplex

Rlpx protocol multiplexer and satellite stream

A Satellite is a Stream that primarily drives a single RLPx subprotocol but can also handle additional subprotocols.

Most of other subprotocols are “dependent satellite” protocols of “eth” and not a fully standalone protocol, for example “snap”, See also snap protocol Hence it is expected that the primary protocol is “eth” and the additional protocols are “dependent satellite” protocols.

Structs

• ProtocolConnection
  A connection channel to receive non_empty messages for the negotiated protocol.
• ProtocolProxy
  A Stream and Sink type that acts as a wrapper around a primary RLPx subprotocol (e.g. “eth”)
• RlpxProtocolMultiplexer
  A Stream and Sink type that wraps a raw rlpx stream P2PStream and handles message ID multiplexing.
• RlpxSatelliteStream
  A Stream and Sink type that acts as a wrapper around a primary RLPx subprotocol (e.g. “eth”) EthStream and can also handle additional subprotocols.
