- # P2P Config
-
- Here we describe configuration options around the Peer Exchange.
-
- ## Seed Mode
-
- `--p2p.seed_mode`
-
- The node operates in seed mode. In seed mode, a node continuously crawls the network for peers,
- and upon incoming connection shares some peers and disconnects.
-
- ## Seeds
-
- `--p2p.seeds “1.2.3.4:466656,2.3.4.5:4444”`
-
- Dials these seeds when we need more peers. They should return a list of peers and then disconnect.
- If we already have enough peers in the address book, we may never need to dial them.
-
- ## Persistent Peers
-
- `--p2p.persistent_peers “1.2.3.4:46656,2.3.4.5:466656”`
-
- Dial these peers and auto-redial them if the connection fails.
- These are intended to be trusted persistent peers that can help
- anchor us in the p2p network.
-
- Note that the auto-redial uses exponential backoff and will give up
- after a day of trying to connect.
-
- NOTE: If `seeds` and `persistent_peers` intersect,
- the user will be WARNED that seeds may auto-close connections
- and the node may not be able to keep the connection persistent.
-
- ## Private Persistent Peers
-
- `--p2p.private_persistent_peers “1.2.3.4:46656,2.3.4.5:466656”`
-
- These are persistent peers that we do not add to the address book or
- gossip to other peers. They stay private to us.
