The libbitcoin-network library is a partial implementation of the Bitcoin P2P network protocol. Excluded are all sub-protocols that require access to a blockchain. The libbitcoin-node library extends this P2P networking capability and incorporates libbitcoin-blockchain in order to implement a full node. The libbitcoin-explorer library uses the P2P networking capability to post transactions to the P2P network.
Example

History
- The P2P protocol was originally contained within the libbitcoin library.
- In the winter of 2014 William Swanson reorganized libbitcoin sources[1] in accordance with the roadmap[2] agreed in Toronto earlier that year.
- Later sources were moved into the libbitcoin::network namespace, and by early 2016 the namespace was forked into its own repository and integrated with dependent repositories as of version 3.
