Hi, I was working with topology file while using gnunet-testbed-profiler. I saw the example given here <https://docs.gnunet.org/handbook/gnunet.html#Topology-file-format>.
<snip> For example, the following file will result in 5 overlay connections: [2->1], [3->1],[4->3], [0->3], [2->0] 1:2|3 3:4| 0 0: 2 <snip> I am having difficulty understanding how this actually works when I run gnunet-core to see which peers are connected. for example after running above example I saw the following result <snip> ~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/*0*/config Sa Feb 15 20:47:51 2020: connection established 6YNB (timeout in 283 s) ~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/*1*/config Sa Feb 15 20:47:57 2020: connection established DK5W (timeout in 276 s) Sa Feb 15 20:47:57 2020: connection established 6DEV (timeout in 276 s) Sa Feb 15 20:47:57 2020: connection established G3FK (timeout in 276 s) ~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/*2*/config Sa Feb 15 20:48:01 2020: connection established 6YNB (timeout in 272 s) ~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/*3*/config Sa Feb 15 20:48:05 2020: connection established 6YNB (timeout in 268 s) ~$ gnunet-core --config=/tmp/testbedNfC39S/*4*/config ~$ <snip> These results doesn't make sense when compared to the explanation given in the example(why does node 4 has zero connections for example). so I have two questions 1. What exactly does the above example translates to ? 2. When we say 1:2|3 , does that mean the connection will be bidirectional? Thanks, Vikas Maurya
