Bootstrap node implementation

[t-botclive]

Im looking for implementing a bootstrap node, and I want it to store only peers related to my network, so it wont become a public ipfs node with tons of different peers. Im using kademlia. Since there is no namespace feature like in go-libp2p, is there a way I can configure swarm or is there any suggested playaround to achieve this? Im also using gossipsub for sending messages and topic can be used as a validation criteria, but in this case boot node will receive messages from other nodes which is not good.

You could change the protocol name, which should allow you to do what youre seeking to do. See Config::new and ConfigBuilder::protocol_id. Another option would be to have a protocol added to your peers (it can be NOOP) and check their protocols after connecting (either in the connection handler, via identify or any future behaviour that reports the remote protocols) then store them accordingly if you have your own db or behaviour storing peers info (though dont think this is the case)
