Implement a networking protocol primitive [$400]

There are many interesting protocols and networking primitives yet to be added to this library. To claim this bounty propose and then implement a protocol for the ProtocolZoo submodule. Multiple people can claim this bounty (repeatedly) for new implementations. For substantial development efforts bigger bounties can be approved.

Tests and documentation have to be part of such submissions.

Required skills: Deep knowledge of the protocol being implemented and rough understanding of networking simulations with this library.

Reviewer: Stefan Krastanov

Duration: 2 months

Publication: In the next 2 years we plan to release a paper in a selective journal about this software. Contributing to this issue would deserve a co-authorship status on such a paper (if the contributor so desires)

Hello @Krastanov,

I’d like to tackle this issue. Could you please let me know if there is any documentation available for the protocols that have already been implemented? so i can check it and see how would you like it to be structured, Additionally, if there is any specific protocols that you may want to be implemented firs? I’d appreciate the information

[Krastanov]

Hi, @idriss-hamadi Pardon the slow response. I will respond to your recent email and when we have a specific protocol we can make a dedicated issue to track the bounty.

Hi @Krastanov
@mantri-prateek and I would like to work on this issue to implement a two-way network protocol

[Krastanov]

Sagnik, Prateek, thanks for the interest! I will message you over email so we can discuss details of what you have in mind.

For public tracking: @mantri-prateek and @sagnikpal2004 are working on an instance of this bounty, related to swaps and distillation in a repeater chain. This bounty itself is left unreserved as it can be claimed repeatedly, e.g. by other community members contributing unrelated protocols and examples.
