Bitcoin's p2p networking files

[clarity510]

Hey,

I'm working on an p2p application, and I don't really know how to do it well, so I was thinking I could use bitcoin's p2p code as a learning tool.

Where in the source is all of the p2p stuff? I found bitcoin/src/net.cpp, and that looks like it has a lot of it, but is there more files?

Thanks!
Ryan

Yes. protocol.cpp and protocol.h has stuff there with the p2p messages and main.cpp and main.h has stuff related to receiving and handling network messages.

You should also look at the documentation about the p2p network on bitcoin.org: https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#p2p-network
