proxystore.p2p.connection

Representation of peer-to-peer connection.

PeerConnection

PeerConnection(
    relay_client: RelayClient, *, channels: int = 1
)

Peer-to-peer connection.

Interface for establishing a peer-to-peer connection via WebRTC aiortc and sending/receiving messages between the two peers. The peer-to-peer connection is established using a central and publicly accessible relay server.

Warning

Applications should prefer using the PeerManager rather than using the PeerConnection class.

Example
from proxystore.p2p.connection import PeerConnection
from proxystore.p2p.relay import BasicRelayClient

client1 = BasicRelayClient(relay_server_address)
await client1.connect()
connection1 = PeerConnection(client1)

client2 = BasicRelayClient(relay_server_address)
await client2.connect()
connection2 = PeerConnection(client2)

await connection1.send_offer(client2.uuid)
offer = await client2.recv()
await connection2.handle_server_message(offer)
answer = await client1.recv()
await connection1.handle_server_message(answer)

await connection1.ready()
await connection2.ready()

await connection1.send('hello')
assert await connection2.recv() == 'hello'
await connection2.send('hello hello')
assert await connection1.recv() == 'hello hello'

await client1.close()
await client2.close()
await connection1.close()
await connection2.close()

Parameters:

  • relay_client (RelayClient) –

    Client connection to the relay server.

  • channels (int, default: 1 ) –

    Number of datachannels to open with peer.
