Package - Address Manager

This package can be used as a standalone to manage addresses on the NEO network. Although you can use it for other chains, the config parameters have been modified for the state of NEO as of now.

Responsibility

To manage the data that the node knows about addresses; data on good addresses, retry rates, failures, and lastSuccessful connection will be managed by the address manager. Also, If a service wants to fetch good address then it will be asked for from the address manager.

Features

On GetAddr it will give a list of good addresses to connect to
On Addr it will receive addresses and remove any duplicates.
General Management of Addresses
Periodically saves the peers and metadata about peer into a .json file for retrieval (Not implemented yet)

Note

The Address manager will not deal with making connections to nodes. Please check the tests for the use cases for this package.
