Algorand Specifications

Algorand uses a fork of gorilla websocket (v1.4.2), to implement the Relay Network.

Relevant changes:

• Header size and read limits,
  • connection.ReadMessage() is marked as unsafe to avoid explosively compressed messages.
• Server is TLSServer,
• Message compression,
• Mutexes for multithreading,
• Connection closing without flushing, and a thread flusher,
• Tests and benchmark over additions.

Further details refer to the fork.

Algorand uses go-libp2p library (building from the latest release), to implement the Peer-to-Peer network.

See libp2p specifications for detailed documentation on this external package.
