- Is it for concrete data (_block #100_) or the latest (_get balance_)?
|
||||
- Is result a static value (_just block_) or may vary depending on network and node (_latest nonce_)?
|
||||
- Does it need to be repeated over multiple nodes (_broadcast transaction_)?
|

- Request can also specify which subset of nodes should be able to execute the request by selecting node _Labels_

Based on these factors, Dshackle executes the request on a most optimal node. For most of the simple requests, it just gets a node that is synchronized
|
||||
to the point that must have a response for that particular request. If node failed, returned an invalid response, returned
|
||||
an empty response when shouldn't then Dshackle tries again on another node, or on the same node after awhile (default is
|

200ms between failover repeats)

=== Proxy
|
||||
|
||||
Dshackle provides access with standard JSON RPC protocol, functioning as a proxy to upstreams.
|
||||
It provides:
|
||||
|
||||
- Routes only realy/alive upstreams, i.e., synchronized and with enough peers
|
||||
- Load Balancing
|
||||
- Request Retry on upstream errors
|
||||
- Local Caching (memory and Redis, see link:09-caching.adoc[Caching])
|
||||
- Broadcasting and Quorum for requests
|
||||
|
||||
=== gRPC protocol
|
||||
|
||||
Dshackle uses gRPC protocol for communications, because:
|
||||
Dshackle native protocol is based on gRPC, which provides many additional features:
|
||||
|
||||
- provides additional parameters on top of upstreams JSON RPC requests
|
||||
- based on HTTP/2 with low latency, compression, server push, pipelining and multiplexing
|
||||
- gRPC has binding and code generators for most of the languages and frameworks
|
||||
- easy to support TLS encryption and authentication
|
||||
|
||||
Dshackle has extra methods and functionality on top of standard APIs of upstreams, and it's more flexible to wrap
|
||||
original APIs, such as JSON, into gRPC, and Protobuf + has additional data provided by Dshackle. It also allowed
|
||||
to push new data from the server or send responses asynchronously, immediately after it gets executed on an upstream.

=== Distributed Load Balancing
|
||||
|
||||
Dshackle servers can connect to each other through a secure encrypted and authenticated connection.
|
||||
It allows to build a network of nodes deployed to different regions or run blockchain nodes outside of the main
|
||||
network.

Later is especially important for blockchain nodes, as they require an open firewall with incoming connections for P2P, and
|
||||
to execute untrusted code ("smart contracts") at the same time. With Dshackle, it's possible to separate insecure nodes from
