Description

Tracking issue for the proposal outlined in https://github.com/livepeer/go-livepeer-basicnet/issues/21#issuecomment-369310870

  • On-chain tracking of new jobs and assignments in transcoder.
  • Transcoder prepares to receive a direct connection (set up listeners if needed)
  • Transcoder sends TranscoderSub(T_MultiAddr, T_NodeID, StrmID, T_Sig) if assigned a job
  • Broadcaster handling for TranscoderSub request ; establish a direct connection
  • Transcoder handling of direct connection; SUB to broadcaster
  • Broadcaster handling of incoming SUB requests via the direct connection
  • Verify TranscodeSub messages on broadcaster. Requires https://github.com/livepeer/go-livepeer-basicnet/issues/31 or monitoring the event log.
  • relay fallback (eg, if transcoder is NAT'd)
  • retransmissions for broadcaster misses
  • disconnect handling
