Document route broadcasting protocol

[adrianhopebailie]

Document the route broadcasting protocol as implemented in interledgerjs/ilp-connector

[dora-gt]

Which is the best file (.ts or .js) to refer to?

[adrianhopebailie]

.ts - The .js is auto-generated

[dora-gt]

I know what TypeScript is.
I mean... which is the best to understand route broadcasting protocol?
(Where is it coded mainly?)

Anyway, I'm looking into the project.

[dora-gt]

I started to write this.
If anyone else is doing the same thing, please let me know.

[adrianhopebailie]

Most of the code is in either:

• https://github.com/interledgerjs/ilp-connector/tree/master/src/routing , or
• https://github.com/interledgerjs/ilp-protocol-ccp

@justmoon May have some other suggestions.

[dora-gt]

Thank you for the information. I'm reading the code.
This is a bit more complicated than ILDCP, so give me a few days to understand the whole view.

@justmoon I appreciate if you could give me a brief explanation of epoch.
What it is and what it is used for.

[dora-gt]

My recognition:

• Routing Table ID
  • UUID that is reset everytime the connector starts up
  • If the UUID is changed, the epoch for the table is reset to 0
• Epoch
  • How many times the routing table is modified since routing table ID is set.

I'm writing here, though it is WIP.
