Control.Distributed.Backend.P2P

Peer-to-peer node discovery backend for Cloud Haskell based on the TCP transport. Provided with a known node address it discovers and maintains the knowledge of it's peers.

 import qualified Control.Distributed.Backend.P2P as P2P
 import           Control.Monad.Trans (liftIO)
 import           Control.Concurrent (threadDelay)

 main = P2P.bootstrap "myhostname" "9001" [P2P.makeNodeId "seedhost:9000"] $ do
     liftIO $ threadDelay 1000000 -- give dispatcher a second to discover other nodes
     P2P.nsendPeers "myService" ("some", "message")
