Overview ¶
Package gostream allows to replace the standard net stack in Go with [LibP2P](https://github.com/libp2p/libp2p) streams.
Given a libp2p.Host, gostream provides Dial() and Listen() methods which return implementations of net.Conn and net.Listener.
Instead of the regular "host:port" addressing, `gostream` uses a Peer ID, and rather than a raw TCP connection, gostream will use libp2p's net.Stream. This means your connections will take advantage of LibP2P's multi-routes, NAT transversal and stream multiplexing.
Note that LibP2P hosts cannot dial to themselves, so there is no possibility of using the same Host as server and as client.

Variables ¶
var Network = "libp2p"
Network is the "net.Addr.Network()" name returned by addresses used by gostream connections. In turn, the "net.Addr.String()" will be a peer ID.
