explore libp2p compression on the network layer

[boulder225]

🎯 Problem to be solved

• exploring whether libp2p inherently supports compression and understanding the potential for integrating compression plugins, like Brotli, into libp2p. Evaluating the performance impact of compression on libp2p applications, particularly in the context of block gossiping and full blocks.
• Designing a measurement framework to assess the implications of compressing data streams over the network.

🛠️ Proposed solution

• [ ] Conduct a spike to investigate libp2p's existing compression capabilities.
• [ ] Explore the feasibility and impact of integrating Brotli or other compression plugins into libp2p.
• [ ] Develop and implement a performance testing plan
