Documentation question: Lighthouses

Open JonTheNiceGuy opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Some questions on lighthouses.

  • What role does the Lighthouse perform in the network? Is it purely for discovery?
  • Does it "only" know about the hosts that have spoken to it?
  • Do the Lighthouses talk to each other to share the rest of the nodes in the network?
  • If you have two lighthouses (A and B), with nodes (1,2,3) talking to lighthouse A, and nodes (4,5,6) talking to lighthouse B. Can node 1 talk to node 4? Does node 1 need to know about both lighthouse A and B? Does node 4 as well?
