Network and physical transport related utilities
This package contains objects and utilities that allow storing and
querying the current state of the observable Network.
Background processes and event updates ensure that the Network data is regularly updated to offer the complete information about each observed peer:
- the timestamps of last observations
- quality measurements based on the heartbeat and ping reporting mechanism,
- individual metrics counting windowed quality characteristics
- on and off-chain observed peer related data (multiaddresses…)
NOTE: This object has not been significantly altered from the previous versions and will be improved in the upcoming releases together with physical transport upgrades that will make it possible to record more data faster. As such, this object should slowly transform into a pollable physical network graph processing live telemetry from the packet transport process.
