Juan Batiz-Benet 5171d3df6b p2p/net/conn: respect context on dialing
We were half-way with this. there's no way for net.Dialers
to respect contexts, so we have to let the dial finish in
the background.

Network

The IPFS Network package handles all of the peer-to-peer networking. It connects to other hosts, it encrypts communications, it muxes messages between the network's client services and target hosts. It has multiple subcomponents:

  • Conn - a connection to a single Peer
    • MultiConn - a set of connections to a single Peer
    • SecureConn - an encrypted (tls-like) connection
  • Swarm - holds connections to Peers, multiplexes from/to each MultiConn
  • Muxer - multiplexes between Services and Swarm. Handles Requet/Reply.
    • Service - connects between an outside client service and Network.
    • Handler - the client service part that handles requests

It looks a bit like this:
