In order maintain the peer-to-peer Bitcoin network, there needs to be a source
of addresses to connect to as nodes come and go. The Bitcoin protocol provides
a the getaddr and addr messages to allow peers to communicate known addresses
with each other. However, there needs to a mechanism to store those results and
the getaddr and addr messages to allow peers to communicate known addresses with
each other. However, there needs to a mechanism to store those results and
select peers from them. It is also important to note that remote peers can't
be trusted to send valid peers nor attempt to provide you with only peers they
control with malicious intent.
With that in mind, this package provides a concurrency safe address manager for
caching and selecting peers in a non-determinstic manner. The general idea is
caching and selecting peers in a non-deterministic manner. The general idea is
the caller adds addresses to the address manager and notifies it when addresses
are connected, known good, and attempted. The caller also requests addresses as
it needs them.
