Summary
When p2p net listens on all interfaces ("0.0.0.0:0", ":0", ":N"), it advertises everything including loopback and private interface addresses. The solution is to handle this specification and apply libp2p's AddressFactory filter.
Note, when some specific address is set like loopback or a private interface, it recognized as intentional action and no filters applied. This allows to all unit tests starting network on "127.0.0.1:0" to continue to operate, as well allows private nets to run if
NetAddressis set appropriate (say to "10.1.0.101:0").During algonet testing I found EC2 instances only have loopback and a private 172.31.x.x addresses so that filtered.
libp2p has address observation facility (part of netidentity) that reports addresses seen at least 4 times (
activated()piece) in last 30 minutes (TTL piece).This means we need at least 4 p2p bootstrap nodes to allow other nodes to advertise their observed addresses over DHT.
Test Plan
addressFilter' function and forMakeHostwith differentNetAddress` specifications.with 4 of 8 relays being p2p bootstrap nodes (via DNS TXT) and with all nodes
"EnableDHTProviders": true. I was able to add an extra node with"GossipFanout": 8to this network and have it connected to all 8 relays despite the fact only 8 are registered in DNS.
