Relay Type¶

enum cardano_relay_type_t¶

Enumerates the types of relays used in the Cardano network.

This enumeration defines the different types of relay nodes that can be configured in the Cardano network. Each type represents a different method of connecting to the network.

Values:

enumerator CARDANO_RELAY_TYPE_SINGLE_HOST_ADDRESS¶

Relay connects to a single host using an IP address and a port number.

This is the most direct way of specifying a relay and does not depend on DNS resolution.

enumerator CARDANO_RELAY_TYPE_SINGLE_HOST_NAME¶

Relay connects using a DNS name and a port number.

This type allows the relay’s IP address to be resolved dynamically, which can provide resilience in environments where IP addresses may change.

enumerator CARDANO_RELAY_TYPE_MULTI_HOST_NAME¶

Relay uses a multi-host name via a DNS SRV record to resolve multiple potential IP addresses and ports.

This type is used for more complex network setups where load balancing across multiple servers is required.
