# Pool
|
|
|
|
A pool maintains a connection of [Peers](peer.md). A pool will discover peers via DNS seeds, as well as when peer addresses are announced through the network.
|
|
|
|
The quickest way to get connected is to run the following:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
|
|
var Pool = require('bitcore-p2p').Pool;
|
|
var Networks = require('bitcore').Networks;
|
|
|
|
var pool = new Pool(Networks.livenet);
|
|
|
|
// connect to the network
|
|
pool.connect();
|
|
|
|
// attach peer events
|
|
pool.on('peerinv', function(peer, message) {
|
|
// a new peer message has arrived
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// will disconnect all peers
|
|
pool.disconnect()
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information about Peer events please read the [Peer](peer.md) documentation. Peer events are relayed to the pool, a peer event `inv` in the pool would be `peerinv`. When a peer is disconnected the pool will try to connect to the list of known addresses to maintain connection.
