GetAsmapChecksum()

uint256 NetGroupManager::GetAsmapChecksum

const

Get a checksum identifying the asmap being used.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

GetGroup()

std::vector< unsigned char > NetGroupManager::GetGroup

(

const CNetAddr &

address

)

const

Get the canonical identifier of the network group for address.

The groups are assigned in a way where it should be costly for an attacker to obtain addresses with many different group identifiers, even if it is cheap to obtain addresses with the same identifier.

Note

No two connections will be attempted to addresses with the same network group.

GetMappedAS()

uint32_t NetGroupManager::GetMappedAS

(

const CNetAddr &

address

)

const

Get the autonomous system on the BGP path to address.

The ip->AS mapping depends on how asmap is constructed.

Member Data Documentation

m_asmap

const std::vector<bool> NetGroupManager::m_asmap

private

Compressed IP->ASN mapping, loaded from a file when a node starts.

This mapping is then used for bucketing nodes in Addrman and for ensuring we connect to a diverse set of peers in Connman. The map is empty if no file was provided.

If asmap is provided, nodes will be bucketed by AS they belong to, in order to make impossible for a node to connect to several nodes hosted in a single AS. This is done in response to Erebus attack, but also to generally diversify the connections every node creates, especially useful when a large fraction of nodes operate under a couple of cloud providers.

If a new asmap is provided, the existing addrman records are re-bucketed.

This is initialized in the constructor, const, and therefore is thread-safe.
