Subject: Topology file format
To: <
address@hidden>
Hi,
I was working with topology file while using gnunet-testbed-profiler. I saw the example given here.
<snip>
For example, the following file will result in 5 overlay connections:
[2->1], [3->1],[4->3], [0->3], [2->0] 1:2|3 3:4| 0 0: 2
<snip>
I am having difficulty understanding how this actually works when I run gnunet-core to see which peers are connected.
for example after running above example
I saw the following result
<snip>
~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/0/config
Sa Feb 15 20:47:51 2020: connection established 6YNB (timeout in 283 s)
~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/1/config
Sa Feb 15 20:47:57 2020: connection established DK5W (timeout in 276 s)
Sa Feb 15 20:47:57 2020: connection established 6DEV (timeout in 276 s)
Sa Feb 15 20:47:57 2020: connection established G3FK (timeout in 276 s)
~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/2/config
Sa Feb 15 20:48:01 2020: connection established 6YNB (timeout in 272 s)
~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/3/config
Sa Feb 15 20:48:05 2020: connection established 6YNB (timeout in 268 s)
~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/4/config
~$
<snip>
These results doesn't make sense when compared to the explanation given in the example(why does node 4 has zero connections for example).
so I have two questions
1. What exactly does the above example translates to ?
2. When we say 1:2|3 , does that mean the connection will be bidirectional?
Thanks,
Vikas Maurya
