# gerbil-libp2p
This packages provides a native Gerbil implementation of the
[libp2p](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/) networking stack.
## Overview
The implementation will loosely follow the
[go-libp2p](https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p) architecture, as far
as the host interface is concerned.
Specifically, the main user interface is the `Host`, and the I/O interface is the `Stream` -- see [libp2p/interface.ss](libp2p/interface.ss).
## Development Roadmap
This is just beginning; these are our plans:
### MVP
This is the very basic functionality of libp2p; we just want to
implement enough of the host to talk to a go-libp2p program
implementing a basic echo protocol, both as a client and as a server.
That means:
- implement enough of the Host to connect to a peer, open a stream as a client, and handle a stream as server.
- protocol requirements:
- multistream select for handshake/mux negotiation
- tls handshake (or noise, eventually both)
- yamux
- identify
### Advanced Host APIs
- peerstore
- network
- resource manager
- event bus
### Advanced Functionality
As we build towards production, we are going to need some more components:
- autonat client for nat detection
- relay/v2 client, dcutr, and dht client for hole punching
- dht client for bootstrap/routing
- pubsub/gossipsub
### Public Node Functionality
- autonat server
- relay/v2 server
- dht server
### QUIC
This is a very big endeavor in itself, so it might take a while; volunteers welcome.
