Juan Batiz-Benet 140cd1fd1b remove debugerrors
We now consider debugerrors harmful: we've run into cases where
debugerror.Wrap() hid valuable error information (err == io.EOF?).
I've removed them from the main code, but left them in some tests.
Go errors are lacking, but unfortunately, this isn't the solution.

It is possible that debugerros.New or debugerrors.Errorf should
remain still (i.e. only remove debugerrors.Wrap) but we don't use
these errors often enough to keep.

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:
