Detailed Description

Stochastic address manager.

Design goals:

Keep the address tables in-memory, and asynchronously dump the entire table to peers.dat.
Make sure no (localized) attacker can fill the entire table with his nodes/addresses.

To that end:

Addresses are organized into buckets that can each store up to 64 entries.
- Addresses to which our node has not successfully connected go into 1024 "new" buckets.
  - Based on the address range (/16 for IPv4) of the source of information, or if an asmap is provided, the AS it belongs to (for IPv4/IPv6), 64 buckets are selected at random.
  - The actual bucket is chosen from one of these, based on the range in which the address itself is located.
  - The position in the bucket is chosen based on the full address.
  - One single address can occur in up to 8 different buckets to increase selection chances for addresses that are seen frequently. The chance for increasing this multiplicity decreases exponentially.
  - When adding a new address to an occupied position of a bucket, it will not replace the existing entry unless that address is also stored in another bucket or it doesn't meet one of several quality criteria (see IsTerrible for exact criteria).
- Addresses of nodes that are known to be accessible go into 256 "tried" buckets.
  - Each address range selects at random 8 of these buckets.
  - The actual bucket is chosen from one of these, based on the full address.
  - When adding a new good address to an occupied position of a bucket, a FEELER connection to the old address is attempted. The old entry is only replaced and moved back to the "new" buckets if this attempt was unsuccessful.
- Bucket selection is based on cryptographic hashing, using a randomly-generated 256-bit key, which should not be observable by adversaries.
- Several indexes are kept for high performance. Setting m_consistency_check_ratio with the -checkaddrman configuration option will introduce (expensive) consistency checks for the entire data structure.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Add()

bool AddrMan::Add	(	const std::vector< CAddress > &	vAddr,
		const CNetAddr &	source,
		std::chrono::seconds	time_penalty = 0s )

Attempt to add one or more addresses to addrman's new table.

If an address already exists in addrman, the existing entry may be updated (e.g. adding additional service flags). If the existing entry is in the new table, it may be added to more buckets, improving the probability of selection.

Parameters

[in]	vAddr	Address records to attempt to add.
[in]	source	The address of the node that sent us these addr records.
[in]	time_penalty	A "time penalty" to apply to the address record's nTime. If a peer sends us an address record with nTime=n, then we'll add it to our addrman with nTime=(n - time_penalty).

Returns: true if at least one address is successfully added, or added to an additional bucket. Unaffected by updates.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ Attempt()

void AddrMan::Attempt	(	const CService &	addr,
		bool	fCountFailure,
		NodeSeconds	time = Now<NodeSeconds>() )

Mark an entry as connection attempted to.

Definition at line 1303 of file addrman.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ Connected()

void AddrMan::Connected	(	const CService &	addr,
		NodeSeconds	time = Now<NodeSeconds>() )

We have successfully connected to this peer.

Calling this function updates the CAddress's nTime, which is used in our IsTerrible() decisions and gossiped to peers. Callers should be careful that updating this information doesn't leak topology information to network spies.

net_processing calls this function when it disconnects from a peer to not leak information about currently connected peers.

Parameters

[in]	addr	The address of the peer we were connected to
[in]	time	The time that we were last connected to this peer

Definition at line 1333 of file addrman.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ FindAddressEntry()

std::optional< AddressPosition > AddrMan::FindAddressEntry ( const CAddress & addr )

Test-only function Find the address record in AddrMan and return information about its position.

Parameters

[in] addr The address record to look up.

Returns: Information about the address record in AddrMan or nullopt if address is not found.

Definition at line 1343 of file addrman.cpp.

◆ GetAddr()

std::vector< CAddress > AddrMan::GetAddr	(	size_t	max_addresses,
		size_t	max_pct,
		std::optional< Network >	network,
		const bool	filtered = true ) const

Return all or many randomly selected addresses, optionally by network.

Parameters

[in]	max_addresses	Maximum number of addresses to return (0 = all).
[in]	max_pct	Maximum percentage of addresses to return (0 = all).
[in]	network	Select only addresses of this network (nullopt = all).
[in]	filtered	Select only addresses that are considered good quality (false = all).

Returns: A vector of randomly selected addresses from vRandom.

Definition at line 1323 of file addrman.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ GetEntries()

std::vector< std::pair< AddrInfo, AddressPosition > > AddrMan::GetEntries ( bool from_tried ) const

Returns an information-location pair for all addresses in the selected addrman table.

If an address appears multiple times in the new table, an information-location pair is returned for each occurrence. Addresses only ever appear once in the tried table.

Parameters

[in] from_tried Selects which table to return entries from.

Returns: A vector consisting of pairs of AddrInfo and AddressPosition.

Definition at line 1328 of file addrman.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ Good()

bool AddrMan::Good	(	const CService &	addr,
		NodeSeconds	time = Now<NodeSeconds>() )

Mark an address record as accessible and attempt to move it to addrman's tried table.

Parameters

[in]	addr	Address record to attempt to move to tried table.
[in]	time	The time that we were last connected to this peer.

Returns: true if the address is successfully moved from the new table to the tried table.

Definition at line 1298 of file addrman.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ ResolveCollisions()

void AddrMan::ResolveCollisions ( )

See if any to-be-evicted tried table entries have been tested and if so resolve the collisions.

Definition at line 1308 of file addrman.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ Select()

std::pair< CAddress, NodeSeconds > AddrMan::Select	(	bool	new_only = false,
		std::optional< Network >	network = std::nullopt ) const

Choose an address to connect to.

Parameters

[in]	new_only	Whether to only select addresses from the new table. Passing `true` returns an address from the new table or an empty pair. Passing `false` will return an empty pair or an address from either the new or tried table (it does not guarantee a tried entry).
[in]	network	Select only addresses of this network (nullopt = all). Passing a network may slow down the search.

Returns: CAddress The record for the selected peer. seconds The last time we attempted to connect to that peer.

Definition at line 1318 of file addrman.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ SelectTriedCollision()

std::pair< CAddress, NodeSeconds > AddrMan::SelectTriedCollision ( )
