Description
The first portion of Smart Dialing is introducing an approach like Happy Eyeballs. With this, a libp2p node prioritizes a peer's multiaddr list based on transports and selects the best multiaddr to dial.
Done Criteria
- Briefly describe Happy Eyeballs (how it influences and differs from go-libp2p's approach)
- Describe previous libp2p multiaddr selection logic and why it is not scalable (as more multiaddrs are added) and efficient (why it doesn't pick the best multiaddr)
- Describe how using this approach results in a better performance and better connection likelihood
- Decide whether to: document in connection establishment or as a separate article
- Mention this is only in go-libp2p for now
Why Important
We need to document and highlight the performance optimizations libp2p has specified and implemented.
