Research direction

Start by tracing the automatic local peer discovery described in the issue and compare it with the `/1HeLLo4uzjaLetFx6NH3PMwFP3qbRbTf3D/` endpoint's `zeronet_peers=ip:port` behavior. Done means peers in different gateways on the same local network can be discovered automatically, with coverage for the changed behavior.
