Resilient Peer Discovery for Production

[mgazza]

Overview

Production-critical peer discovery mechanisms beyond mDNS. Essential for multi-datacenter deployment and high availability.

Implementation Tasks

• DHT-based peer discovery - Essential for NAT traversal in production
• Bootstrap nodes - Required for multi-datacenter deployment
• Peer exchange protocol - Needed for automatic topology management
• Connection health monitoring - Critical for 100K+ ops/sec reliability
• Automatic failover - Non-negotiable for high availability

Priority

Phase 1: Core Infrastructure - Critical for production deployment

Hi. As commented in #11, we merged a new PR (#15) that changes NewPeer to receive the P2P host instead of creating it, in order to allow the user to configure the host as needed. For example, the user could enable DHT-based peer discovery if desired.
