introduce a proper address pipeline

Open marten-seemann opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

We need to get a lot smarter about address management. Wrapping / replacing addresses via the AddrsFactory doesn't scale.

I'm imagining a new service that's responsible for the entire process of address management.

It ingests in new "address candidates" from various sources: user provided address hints, transports claiming to listen on certain addresses, Identify, relay service etc.
It verifies these addresses using AutoNAT v2.
It groups and categorizes these addresses (public / private / relayed).
It provides interfaces to make these different categories of addresses available to consumers.

We need something like #2293 to test this.
