      les, les/lespay: implement new server pool (#20758) · b4a26811
      Zsolt Felföldi authored
      This PR reimplements the light client server pool. It is also a first step
      to move certain logic into a new lespay package. This package will contain
      the implementation of the lespay token sale functions, the token buying and
      selling logic and other components related to peer selection/prioritization
      and service quality evaluation. Over the long term this package will be
      reusable for incentivizing future protocols.
      
      Since the LES peer logic is now based on enode.Iterator, it can now use
      DNS-based fallback discovery to find servers.
      
      This document describes the function of the new components:

      les, les/flowcontrol: improved request serving and flow control (#18230) · c2003ed6
      Zsolt Felföldi authored
      This change
      
      - implements concurrent LES request serving even for a single peer.
      - replaces the request cost estimation method with a cost table based on
        benchmarks which gives much more consistent results. Until now the
        allowed number of light peers was just a guess which probably contributed
        a lot to the fluctuating quality of available service. Everything related
        to request cost is implemented in a single object, the 'cost tracker'. It
        uses a fixed cost table with a global 'correction factor'. Benchmark code
        is included and can be run at any time to adapt costs to low-level
        implementation changes.
      - reimplements flowcontrol.ClientManager in a cleaner and more efficient
        way, with added capabilities: There is now control over bandwidth, which
        allows using the flow control parameters for client prioritization.
        Target utilization over 100 percent is now supported to model concurrent
        request processing. Total serving bandwidth is reduced during block
        processing to prevent database contention.
      - implements an RPC API for the LES servers allowing server operators to
        assign priority bandwidth to certain clients and change prioritized
        status even while the client is connected. The new API is meant for
        cases where server operators charge for LES using an off-protocol mechanism.
      - adds a unit test for the new client manager.
      - adds an end-to-end test using the network simulator that tests bandwidth
        control functions through the new API.

      les: fix retriever logic (#16776) · 25982375
      Zsolt Felföldi authored
      This PR fixes a retriever logic bug. When a peer had a soft timeout
      and then a response arrived, it always assumed it was the same peer
      even though it could have been a later requested one that did not time
      out at all yet. In this case the logic went to an illegal state and
      deadlocked, causing a goroutine leak.
      
      Fixes #16243 and replaces #16359.
      Thanks to @riceke for finding the bug in the logic.

      les, light: LES/2 protocol version (#14970) · ca376ead
      Zsolt Felföldi authored
      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.

      les: code refactoring (#14416) · a5d08c89
      Zsolt Felföldi authored
      This commit does various code refactorings:
      
      - generalizes and moves the request retrieval/timeout/resend logic out of LesOdr
        (will be used by a subsequent PR)
      - reworks the peer management logic so that all services can register with
        peerSet to get notified about added/dropped peers (also gets rid of the ugly
        getAllPeers callback in requestDistributor)
      - moves peerSet, LesOdr, requestDistributor and retrieveManager initialization
        out of ProtocolManager because I believe they do not really belong there and the
        whole init process was ugly and ad-hoc
