Generic request/response protocols.
General Usage
RequestResponse
is a NetworkBehaviour
that implements a generic
request/response protocol or protocol family, whereby each request is
sent over a new substream on a connection. RequestResponse
is generic
over the actual messages being sent, which are defined in terms of a
RequestResponseCodec
. Creating a request/response protocol thus amounts
to providing an implementation of this trait which can then be
given to RequestResponse::new
. Further configuration options are
available via the RequestResponseConfig
.
Requests are sent using RequestResponse::send_request
and the
responses received as RequestResponseMessage::Response
via
RequestResponseEvent::Message
.
Responses are sent using RequestResponse::send_response
upon
receiving a RequestResponseMessage::Request
via
RequestResponseEvent::Message
.
Protocol Families
A single RequestResponse
instance can be used with an entire
protocol family that share the same request and response types.
For that purpose, RequestResponseCodec::Protocol
is typically
instantiated with a sum type.
Limited Protocol Support
It is possible to only support inbound or outbound requests for
a particular protocol. This is achieved by instantiating RequestResponse
with protocols using ProtocolSupport::Inbound
or
ProtocolSupport::Outbound
. Any subset of protocols of a protocol
family can be configured in this way. Such protocols will not be
advertised during inbound respectively outbound protocol negotiation
on the substreams.
