主要特性

• 轻量级中继服务器实现
• NAT穿透能力
• 低延迟消息传递
• 分布式系统友好设计
• 基于Rust的安全实现

安装方法

在Cargo.toml中添加依赖：

[dependencies]
iroh-relay = "0.5"  # 请检查最新版本

完整示例demo

1. 中继服务器实现

use iroh_relay::server::RelayServer;
use std::net::SocketAddr;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // 绑定地址和端口
    let addr: SocketAddr = "0.0.0.0:8080".parse()?;
    
    // 创建RelayServer实例
    let server = RelayServer::builder()
        .bind_addr(addr)
        .max_connections(100)  // 设置最大连接数
        .build();
    
    println!("Relay server started on {}", addr);
    
    // 启动服务器
    server.serve().await?;
    Ok(())
}

2. 完整客户端实现

use iroh_relay::client::RelayClient;
use iroh_relay::protocol::Message;
use futures::StreamExt;
use std::time::Duration;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // 连接到中继服务器
    let mut client = RelayClient::builder()
        .endpoint("ws://localhost:8080")
        .heartbeat_interval(Duration::from_secs(15))
        .enable_compression(true)
        .connect()
        .await?;
    
    println!("Connected to relay server");
    
    // 注册节点ID
    let node_id = "rust-client-1";
    client.register(node_id).await?;
    println!("Registered with ID: {}", node_id);
    
    // 启动消息接收任务
    let mut message_stream = client.subscribe();
    tokio::spawn(async move {
        while let Some(msg) = message_stream.next().await {
            match msg {
                Message::Data { from, payload } => {
                    println!("Received from {}: {}", from, String::from_utf8_lossy(&payload));
                },
                Message::Control { kind } => {
                    println!("Control message: {:?}", kind);
                }
            }
        }
    });
    
    // 发送消息示例
    let recipients = vec!["rust-client-2", "rust-client-3"];
    for recipient in recipients {
        let message = Message::new(
            recipient.to_string(),
            format!("Hello {} from {}", recipient, node_id).into_bytes()
        );
        
        match client.send(message).await {
            Ok(_) => println!("Message sent to {}", recipient),
            Err(e) => eprintln!("Failed to send to {}: {}", recipient, e),
        }
    }
    
    // 保持连接
    tokio::signal::ctrl_c().await?;
    println!("Shutting down...");
    Ok(())
}

3. NAT穿透与直接连接示例

use iroh_relay::client::{RelayClient, NatTraversal};
use std::time::Duration;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // 连接中继服务器
    let mut client = RelayClient::connect("ws://localhost:8080").await?;
    client.register("nat-node-1").await?;
    
    // 创建NAT穿透工具
    let nat = NatTraversal::new(&client);
    
    // 尝试发现对等节点
    let peer_id = "nat-node-2";
    match nat.discover_peer(peer_id, Duration::from_secs(10)).await {
        Ok(Some(addr)) => {
            println!("Discovered peer {} at {}", peer_id, addr);
            
            // 这里可以使用quinn或其它库建立直接P2P连接
            // let connection = direct_connect(addr).await;
        }
        Ok(None) => {
            println!("Could not establish direct connection, falling back to relay");
        }
        Err(e) => {
            eprintln!("NAT traversal failed: {}", e);
        }
    }
    
    Ok(())
}

4. 错误处理与重连逻辑

use iroh_relay::client::RelayClient;
use iroh_relay::protocol::Message;
use iroh_relay::error::RelayError;
use std::time::Duration;

async fn reliable_send(
    client: &mut RelayClient,
    recipient: &str,
    data: &[u8],
    max_retries: usize,
) -> Result<(), RelayError> {
    let message = Message::new(recipient.to_string(), data.to_vec());
    
    for attempt in 0..max_retries {
        match client.send(message.clone()).await {
            Ok(_) => return Ok(()),
            Err(RelayError::ConnectionLost) => {
                println!("Connection lost, attempting to reconnect (attempt {}/{})", 
                    attempt + 1, max_retries);
                
                // 等待后重试连接
                tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;
                client.reconnect().await?;
                
                // 重新注册
                client.register("reconnecting-client").await?;
            }
            Err(e) => return Err(e),
        }
    }
    
    Err(RelayError::ConnectionLost)
}

性能优化建议

1. 对于高频消息，使用批处理：

let messages = vec![
    Message::new("node1".to_string(), b"msg1".to_vec()),
    Message::new("node2".to_string(), b"msg2".to_vec()),
];
client.batch_send(messages).await?;

1. 启用消息压缩：

let client = RelayClient::builder()
    .endpoint("ws://relay.example.com:8080")
    .enable_compression(true)
    .connect()
    .await?;

1. 调整心跳间隔减少开销：

let client = RelayClient::builder()
    .endpoint("ws://relay.example.com:8080")
    .heartbeat_interval(Duration::from_secs(30))
    .connect()
    .await?;
