NetGroupManager::GetGroup

Get the canonical identifier of the network group for address.

Synopsis

Declared in <netgroup.h>

std::vector<unsigned char>
GetGroup(CNetAddr const& address) const;

Description

The groups are assigned in a way where it should be costly for an attacker to obtain addresses with many different group identifiers, even if it is cheap to obtain addresses with the same identifier.

Note	No two connections will be attempted to addresses with the same network group.

Return Value

The network group identifier as a byte vector.

Parameters

Name

Description

address

The address to compute the network group for.
