NAME

Description

Constructor

"new ( { [ARGS] } )"

Creates a Net::BitTorrent::Peer object. This constructor should not be used directly.

Methods

"bitfield ( )"

Returns a bitfield representing the pieces that have been reported to be successfully downloaded by the remote peer.

"am_choking ( )"

Returns a boolean value based on whether or not we are currently choking the remote peer.

"am_interested ( )"

Returns a boolean value based on whether or not we are currently interested in the set of pieces held by the remote peer

"host ( )"

Returns the host (typically an IP address) of the remote peer.

"incoming ( )"

Returns a boolean value based on whether or not this connection was initiated by the remote peer or us.

"peer_choking ( )"

Returns a boolean value based on whether or not the remote peer is currently choking us.

"peer_interested ( )"

Returns a boolean value based on whether or not the remote peer is currently interested in being unchoked or in requesting data from us.

"peerid ( )"

Returns the Peer ID used to identify this peer.

"port ( )"

The port used by the remote peer.

"reserved_bytes ( )"

Returns the 8 reserved bytes from the plaintext handshake. Each bit in these bytes can be used to change the behavior of the protocol.

"source ( )"

In a future version, this will return how we obtained this connection (DHT, user, incoming, certain tracker, etc.).

"torrent ( )"

Returns the related Net::BitTorrent::Torrent object. This will be "undef" if the peer has not completed the handshake.

"as_string ( [ VERBOSE ] )"

Returns a 'ready to print' dump of the object's data structure. If called in void context, the structure is printed to "STDERR". "VERBOSE" is a boolean value.

Notes

DISCONNECT_BY_REMOTE

The connection closed by remote peer for unknown reasons

DISCONNECT_LOOPBACK

We connected to ourself according to PeerID.

DISCONNECT_NO_SUCH_TORRENT

Remote peer attempted to create a session related to a torrent we aren't currently serving. Occasionally, this will also provide an "Infohash" parameter for your callback.

DISCONNECT_HANDSHAKE_INFOHASH

A remote peer sent us a bad plaintext handshake. This is triggered when, after a particular infohash was implied in an encrypted handshake, the remote peer sent us a mismatched infohash in the plaintext handshake.

DISCONNECT_MALFORMED_HANDSHAKE

Bad plaintext handshake. May be malformed or, if encryption is disabled locally, the remote peer attempted an encrypted handshake.

DISCONNECT_MALFORMED_PACKET

This is given when the remote peer gives us a malformed packet. See also DISCONNECT_MALFORMED_HANDSHAKE.

DISCONNECT_PREXISTING

Already connected to this peer. When there are too many established connections with a particular peer (as determined by their PeerID), we disconnect further connections with the reason. This reason provides the remote peer's "PeerID" when triggered.

DISCONNECT_TOO_MANY

Enough peers already! We've hit the hard limit for the number of peers allowed globally or per torrent.

DISCONNECT_HASHCHECKING

This reason is given when a remote peer connects to us while the torrent they're seeking is busy being hash checked (potentially in another thread).

DISCONNECT_SEED

This is given when we and the remote peer are both seeds.

DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT_HANDSHAKE

Peer failed to complete plaintext or encrypted handshake within 30s.

DISCONNECT_USELESS_PEER

Peer has been connected for at least 3m and is neither interested nor interesting.

DISCONNECT_HANDSHAKE_SYNC_DH5

Failed to sync MSE handshake at stage five.

To import this list of keywords into your namespace, use the "disconnect" tag. Please note that this API tweak is experimental and may change or be removed in a future version. ...it's also probably incomplete.
