Hi,
Reposting this question as there were no replies.

If the question is too long or confusing, I have one simple question.
In topology file format when we give
1:2|3 3:4| 0 0: 2

Is the connection 2->1 is bidirectional or only 2 can connect to 1 and not
vice versa?

Thanks,
Vikas Maurya

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
