DRP Interval Reconnect Bootstrap

The DRP interval reconnect bootstrap provides automatic reconnection to bootstrap node in the DRP, ensuring reliable connectivity and network resilience

Overview

The interval reconnect mechanism ensures that nodes can:

• Maintain persistent connections to bootstrap nodes
• Automatically recover from network disruptions

Architecture

The interval reconnect system consists of three main components:

• DRPIntervalReconnectBootstrap: Manages the reconnection process to bootstrap nodes
• IntervalRunner: Handles the periodic execution of reconnection tasks
• NetworkNode: Handles P2P communication between nodes

Configuration

interface DRPIntervalReconnectOptions {
	/** Unique identifier for the reconnect process */
	readonly id?: string;
	/** Network node instance used for peer communication */
	readonly networkNode: DRPNetworkNode;
	/** Interval in milliseconds between reconnection attempts. Defaults to 60,000ms (1 minute) */
	readonly interval?: number;
	/** Logger configuration options */
	readonly logConfig?: LoggerOptions;
}

Key Features

• Periodic Connection Checks
• Bootstrap Node Reconnection
• Logging and Observability

Usage

import { createDRPReconnectBootstrap } from "@ts-drp/interval-reconnect";

// Create a new reconnect instance
const reconnect = createDRPReconnectBootstrap({
	networkNode: networkNode,
	interval: 60000, // 1 minute
});

// Start the reconnection process
reconnect.start();

// Stop the reconnection process when done
reconnect.stop();
