Network Setup Guide

Configure and optimize your Matrix OS network for secure and efficient communication between nodes and agents.

Network Configuration

Basic network configuration in your matrix.config.json:

Network Configuration
{
  "network": {
    "host": "0.0.0.0",
    "port": 9000,
    "protocol": "matrix-v1",
    "discovery": {
      "enabled": true,
      "interval": 60,
      "bootstrapNodes": [
        "/ip4/1.2.3.4/tcp/9000/p2p/QmBootstrapNode1",
        "/ip4/5.6.7.8/tcp/9000/p2p/QmBootstrapNode2"
      ]
    },
    "security": {
      "encryption": "enabled",
      "allowedPeers": ["QmTrustedPeer1", "QmTrustedPeer2"]
    }
  }
}

Network Topology

Topology Types

Mesh Network

  • Full peer-to-peer connectivity
  • Decentralized architecture
  • Automatic peer discovery
  • Resilient to node failures

Hub and Spoke

  • Centralized coordination
  • Simplified management
  • Efficient resource usage
  • Better control and monitoring

Network Security

Security Configuration

Security Settings
{
  "security": {
    "encryption": {
      "type": "aes-256-gcm",
      "keyRotation": "7d"
    },
    "authentication": {
      "type": "ed25519",
      "challenge": true
    },
    "firewall": {
      "enabled": true,
      "rules": [
        {"port": 9000, "allow": "all"},
        {"port": "range:1024:65535", "allow": "none"}
      ]
    }
  }
}

Performance Optimization

Optimization Techniques

  • Configure appropriate buffer sizes
