The existing logic involves every server sending every transaction
that it receives to all its peers (except the one that it received
a transaction from).
This commit instead uses a randomized algorithm, where a node will
randomly select peers to relay a given transaction to, caching the
list of transaction hashes that are not relayed and forwading them
to peers once every second. Peers can then determine whether there
are transactions that they have not seen and can request them from
the node which has them.
It is expected that this feature will further reduce the bandwidth
needed to operate a server.

* Creates a version 2 of the UNL file format allowing publishers to
pre-publish the next UNL while the current one is still valid.
* Version 1 of the UNL file format is still valid and backward
compatible.
* Also causes rippled to lock down if it has no valid UNLs, similar to
being amendment blocked, except reversible.
* Resolves#3548
* Resolves#3470
Support for IPv6 messages was added with commit 08382d866b
and version 1.1.0. No peer presently connected to the network in a useful capacity fails
to understand v2 messages.
This commit removes the code that generates and processes v1 messages and deletes legacy
messages from the protocol buffer definition file.
With few exceptions, servers will typically receive multiple copies
of any given message from its directly connected peers. For servers
with several peers this can impact the processing latency and force
it to do redundant work. Proposal and validation messages are often
relayed with extremely high redundancy.
This commit, if merged, introduces experimental code that attempts
to optimize the relaying of proposals and validations by allowing
servers to instruct their peers to "squelch" delivery of selected
proposals and validations. Servers making squelching decisions by
a process that evaluates the fitness and performance of a given
server and randomly selecting a subset of the best candidates.
The experimental code is presently disabled and must be explicitly
enabled by server operators that wish to test it.
Tickets are a mechanism to allow for the "out-of-order" execution of
transactions on the XRP Ledger.
This commit, if merged, reworks the existing support for tickets and
introduces support for 'ticket batching', completing the feature set
needed for tickets.
The code is gated under the newly-introduced `TicketBatch` amendment
and the `Tickets` amendment, which is not presently active on the
network, is being removed.
The specification for this change can be found at:
https://github.com/xrp-community/standards-drafts/issues/16
This change can help improve the liveness of the network during periods of network
instability, by allowing the network to track which validators are presently not online
and to disregard them for the purposes of quorum calculations.
- Add support for all transaction types and ledger object types to gRPC
implementation of tx and account_tx.
- Create common handlers for tx and account_tx.
- Remove mutex and abort() from gRPC server. JobQueue is stopped before
gRPC server, with all coroutines executed to completion, so no need for
synchronization.
* Whenever a node downloads a new VL, send it to all peers that
haven't already sent or received it. It also saves it to the
database_dir as a Json text file named "cache." plus the public key of
the list signer. Any files that exist for public keys provided in
[validator_list_keys] will be loaded and processed if any download
from [validator_list_sites] fails or no [validator_list_sites] are
configured.
* Whenever a node receives a broadcast VL message, it treats it as if
it had downloaded it on it's own, broadcasting to other peers as
described above.
* Because nodes normally download the VL once every 5 minutes, a single
node downloading a VL with an updated sequence number could
potentially propagate across a large part of a well-connected network
before any other nodes attempt to download, decreasing the amount of
time that different parts of the network are using different VLs.
* Send all of our current valid VLs to new peers on connection.
This is probably the "noisiest" part of this change, but will give
poorly connected or poorly networked nodes the best chance of syncing
quickly. Nodes which have no http(s) access configured or available
can get a VL with no extra effort.
* Requests on the peer port to the /vl/<pubkey> endpoint will return
that VL in the same JSON format as is used to download now, IF the
node trusts and has a valid instance of that VL.
* Upgrade protocol version to 2.1. VLs will only be sent to 2.1 and
higher nodes.
* Resolves#2953
This commit restructures the HTTP based protocol negotiation that `rippled`
executes and introduces support for negotiation of compression for peer
links which, if implemented, should result in significant bandwidth savings
for some server roles.
This commit also introduces the new `[network_id]` configuration option
that administrators can use to specify which network the server is part of
and intends to join. This makes it possible for servers from different
networks to drop the link early.
The changeset also improves the log messages generated when negotiation
of a peer link upgrade fails. In the past, no useful information would
be logged, making it more difficult for admins to troubleshoot errors.
This commit also fixes RIPD-237 and RIPD-451
Fixes: RIPD-1574
Alias beast address classes to the asio equivalents. Adjust users of
address classes accordingly. Fix resolver class so that it can support
ipv6 addresses. Make unit tests use ipv6 localhost network. Extend
endpoint peer message to support string endpoint
representations while also supporting the existing fields (both are
optional/repeated types). Expand test for Livecache and Endpoint.
Workaround some false positive ipaddr tests on windows (asio bug?)
Replaced usage of address::from_string(deprecated) with free function
make_address. Identified a remaining use of v4 address type and
replaced with the more appropriate IPEndpoint type (rpc_ip cmdline
option). Add CLI flag for using ipv4 with unit tests.
Release Notes
-------------
The optional rpc_port command line flag is deprecated. The rpc_ip
parameter now works as documented and accepts ip and port combined.
Previously, manifests sent to new peers were marked as history so that
they would not be forwarded. However, this prevented a starting up
node's new manifest from being forwarded beyond its directly connected
peers. Stale or invalid manifests are still not forwarded.

A Validator Manifest allows validators to use a generated ed25519
secret key as a master key for generating new validator public/secret
key pairs. Using this mechanism, rippled instances trust the master
ed25519 public key instead of the now-ephemeral validator public key.
Through a new message and propagation scheme, this lets a validator
change its ephemeral public key without requiring that all rippled
instances on the network restart after maintaining the configuration
file.
This changes TMGetLedger protocol in a backward-compatible way to include
a "query depth" parameter - the number of extra levels in the SHAMap tree
that a server should return in the corresponding TMLedgerData. Depending
on the value or absence of the field, a server may adjust the amount of
returned data based on the observed latency of the requestor: higher
latencies will return larger data sets (to compensate for greater
request/response turnaround times).
When the [overlay] configuration key "expire" is set to 1, proposals
and validations will include a hops field. The hops is incremented with
each relay. Messages with a hop count will be dropped when they exceed
the TTL (Time to Live). Messages containing a hops field will not be
relayed or broadcast to older versions of rippled that don't understand
the field.
This change will not affect normal operation of the network or rippled
instances that do not set "expire" to 1.

If we receive a deferred transaction from a server in our
cluster, treat it as if it wasn't received from a server
in our cluster.
This currently has no effect but is needed for server to
interoperate with future code that will relay deferred
transactions.
