# <h1 align="center"> discv4 </h1>
|
|
|
|
This is a rust implementation of
|
|
the [Discovery v4](https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/40ab248bf7e017e83cc9812a4e048446709623e8/discv4.md)
|
|
peer discovery protocol.
|
|
|
|
For comparison to Discovery v5,
|
|
see [discv5#comparison-with-node-discovery-v4](https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/40ab248bf7e017e83cc9812a4e048446709623e8/discv5/discv5.md#comparison-with-node-discovery-v4)
|
|
|
|
This is inspired by the [discv5](https://github.com/sigp/discv5) crate and reuses its kademlia implementation.
|
|
|
|
## Finding peers
|
|
|
|
The discovery service continuously attempts to connect to other nodes on the network until it has found enough peers.
|
|
If UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is supported by the router the service is running on, it will also accept connections
|
|
from external nodes. In the discovery protocol, nodes exchange information about where the node can be reached to
|
|
eventually establish RLPx sessions.
|
|
|
|
## Trouble Shooting
|
|
|
|
The discv4 protocol depends on the local system clock. If the clock is not accurate it can cause connectivity issues
|
|
because the expiration timestamps might be wrong. |
