kad-dht/README: Document client mode #392

Closed mxinden closed 2 years ago

mxinden commented 2 years ago

This commit documents the DHT client mode, keeping routing tables clear of clients (e.g. laptops), while still allowing clients to utilize the functionality of the DHT.

A note on support across the implementations: Implemented in Go, pending in Rust (https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/2032), uncertain about other languages.
