zebra_network/peer/

connection.rs

//! Zebra's per-peer connection state machine.
//!
//! Maps the external Zcash/Bitcoin protocol to Zebra's internal request/response
//! protocol.
//!
//! This module contains a lot of undocumented state, assumptions and invariants.
//! And it's unclear if these assumptions match the `zcashd` implementation.
//! It should be refactored into a cleaner set of request/response pairs (#1515).
