One of our goals with IPFS interop is to support the DHT for peer lookup and connectivity [#78]
This will allow us to connect to other peers without any directory, further bolstering our decentralized substrate.
Implementation details [mcnode]:
need to integrate kad-dht, with bootstrap through ipfs nodes
extend doLookup to use the DHT to lookup peers when it has no directory or if the directory yields no result.
Also of note: it is possible to lookup directories through the DHT as well, starting with just their peer id.
