wakuv2: expose peer exchange #2974

Closed richard-ramos closed 10 months ago

richard-ramos commented 1 year ago

If most clients in the network are reachable and can therefore successfully be discovered, the few clients that can't, could discover random peers and make outgoing connections only using Waku Peer Exchange (at least in the meantime). The criteria to chose which peer-exchange-node should be used to request nodes from: chosen randomly from the fleet nodes Risk is of course that this has not been dogfooded, but it's not a resource-intensive protocol (cached set of random peers should be available immediately upon request)
