[Tentative] Implement topic advertisement in discovery v5 #182

Open kdeme opened 4 years ago

kdeme commented 4 years ago

As defined in specification here: https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/discv5/discv5-theory.md#topic-advertisement

Put tentative for now, due to possible changes of specification.

@kdeme I could start working on this in an experimental manner.

kdeme commented 4 years ago

@decanus Sure, I've just put this to tentative for now as I understood that the Topic advertisement as it is written now in the specification was probably going to get an overhaul because the topic radius estimation has issues.

@kdeme do you have a link to the "topic radius estimation has issues" problem?
