lightning-net-tokio

Implementation of the rust-lightning network stack using Tokio. For Rust-Lightning clients which wish to make direct connections to Lightning P2P nodes, this is a simple alternative to implementing the required network stack, especially for those already using Tokio

A socket handling library for those running in Tokio environments who wish to use rust-lightning with native TcpStreams.

Designed to be as simple as possible, the high-level usage is almost as simple as "hand over a TcpStream and a reference to a PeerManager and the rest is handled".

The PeerManager, due to the fire-and-forget nature of this logic, must be a reference, (e.g. an [Arc]) and must use the SocketDescriptor provided here as the PeerManager's SocketDescriptor implementation.

Three methods are exposed to register a new connection for handling in tokio::spawn calls; see their individual docs for details.
