- Drop duplicate outgoing TMGetLedger messages per peer
- Allow a retry after 30s in case of peer or network congestion.
- Addresses RIPD-1870
- (Changes levelization. That is not desirable, and will need to be fixed.)
- Drop duplicate incoming TMGetLedger messages per peer
- Allow a retry after 15s in case of peer or network congestion.
- The requestCookie is ignored when computing the hash, thus increasing
the chances of detecting duplicate messages.
- With duplicate messages, keep track of the different requestCookies
(or lack of cookie). When work is finally done for a given request,
send the response to all the peers that are waiting on the request,
sending one message per peer, including all the cookies and
a "directResponse" flag indicating the data is intended for the
sender, too.
- Addresses RIPD-1871
- Drop duplicate incoming TMLedgerData messages
- Addresses RIPD-1869
- Improve logging related to ledger acquisition
- Class "CanProcess" to keep track of processing of distinct items

protocol
Classes and functions for handling data and values associated with the XRP Ledger protocol.
Serialized Objects
Objects transmitted over the network must be serialized into a canonical format. The prefix "ST" refers to classes that deal with the serialized format.
The term "Tx" or "tx" is an abbreviation for "Transaction", a commonly occurring object type.
Optional Fields
Our serialized fields have some "type magic" to make optional fields easier to read:
- The operation
x[sfFoo]means "return the value of 'Foo' if it exists, or the default value if it doesn't." - The operation
x[~sfFoo]means "return the value of 'Foo' if it exists, or nothing if it doesn't." This usage of the tilde/bitwise NOT operator is not standard outside of therippledcodebase.- As a consequence of this,
x[~sfFoo] = y[~sfFoo]assigns the value of Foo from y to x, including omitting Foo from x if it doesn't exist in y.
- As a consequence of this,
Typically, for things that are guaranteed to exist, you use
x[sfFoo] and avoid having to deal with a container that may
or may not hold a value. For things not guaranteed to exist,
you use x[~sfFoo] because you want such a container. It
avoids having to look something up twice, once just to see if
it exists and a second time to get/set its value.
(Real example)
The source of this "type magic" is in SField.h.
