High-level overview of sprint 66​

We held The Network Working Group (NWG) in the last sprint. Below, we share recordings of this and earlier NWG meetings, which introduce basic notions of ouroboros-network. These recordings should be accessible to a technical audience.

Introduction to Ouroboros Network, NWG, part 1​

Introduction to Ouroboros Network, NWG, part 2​

Tx-Submission​

We continued working on the new design of tx-submission. We progressed in writing a new tx-submission server (inbound side of tx-submission protocol) instrumented by decision logic. The next step is writing a simulation that runs N-pairs of client-server communications in which the same decision logic governs all servers - emulating the behaviour of cardano-node once the new tx-submission is integrated. For more details, see ouroboros-network#3311

Genesis integration​

All outstanding PRs related to Genesis have been reviewed and accepted. Soon they will be merged.

Mithril Integration​

We presented ideas on how to run mithril functionalities with cardano-node while taking into account the risks that such integration would impose on the system. The technical description will be part of a CIP, which will then go to the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) for an evaluation.

Smaller tasks​

Open-Source contributions​

We found out and fixed a bug in the iproute parser of IPv4 addresses:

  • Check that IPv4 addresses terminate, iproute#63
  • IPv4 address with mask should not contain a white space, iproute#64
