Description

Features needed by Filecoin and ETH2, in order of priority:

  • Expose the peer that propagated the message to us (#218)
  • Subscription options, which enables...
  • Topic handles (#198), so we can...
  • Configurable per-topic max message sizes (#209).
  • [ ] Duplicate consumption (#216), which is blocked by...
  • [ ] Validator cache (we don’t want to validate dupes over and over again, requires message signing to be enabled).
  • Configurable outbound peer queue sizes (#217).
  • Make Publish() report problems / coalesce queued messages (#217).
  • Mark topics as relay-only (#28).
  • Relative prioritization of traffic per topic (needs to be designed and thought carefully) (#210).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the unresolved linked issues: #209, #217, #28, and #210, with particular attention to the Publish() entry point mentioned in the roadmap. The issue is complete only when one selected hardening item has a defined scope, implementation, and verification; the roadmap itself does not specify a single contribution.
