Overview of sprint 74​

Dropping NonP2P network stack​

We are advertising that we will drop the non-p2p network stack. This will happen after the next hard fork. Please comment on the PR if this will be problematic for you. Here's the PR: ouroboros-network#5007.

Node-to-Client versions​

We dropped node-to-client versions earlier than version 16, ouroboros-network#5002.

Mithril Design​

We completed review how to adopt ouroboros-network for Mithril design. We started to experiment with ouroboros-network in that direction.

Next Cardano-Node release​

The next cardano-node release will include the following changes from the networking team:

Typed-Protocols​

The integration of ouroboros-network-0.18, which is using the new typed-protocols-0.3 with ouroboros-consensus, was merged, ouroboros-consensus#1223. Integration with cardano-cli and cardano-api was rebased and handed to the release engineer. Integration with ekg-forward was merged: ekg-forward#35.

Genesis​

The following changes to support Genesis (both creating big ledger peer snapshots & providing them in a topology file)

Connection Manager​

We merged the documentation review of the connection manager, ouroboros-network#5001. We also renamed connection manager methods (as suggested by Neil Davies ([PNSOL])): ouroboros-network#5000.

Outbound Governor​

We started to experiment with using FRP to implement the outbound governor in a way that is both easier to maintain and reason about.
