Description
It would be great if we could write up the logic that go-libp2p uses, so other implementations can easily implement something similar. This is mostly non-normative, although we could say something like “An implementation MUST NOT dial more than 4 (?) addresses in parallel.”

Research direction
Start by examining the go-libp2p logic for smart dialing and black hole detection. Document the behavior so other implementations can follow it, keeping the description mostly non-normative; resolve whether a limit on parallel dialing should be normative. Done means the relevant logic and any agreed dialing constraint are documented for implementers.
