How nodes find each other? #469

Closed VinnyVicious closed 2 years ago

VinnyVicious commented 2 years ago

Is there any document outlining the process for a node to find one another? Does it brute scan the local network? What about nodes connected to the internet?

peer discovery is very explicitly outside the scope of the protocol, with the exception of prune PX in gossipsub (see the spec). The library receives connection notifications and reacts accordingly; it is up to you to use an appropriate discovery strategy for your application.

Ah, thank you. This wasn't very clear at first.
