  • Discouraged peers are prioritized during eviction and outbound connections are never established to discouraged addresses.
  • Peers are disconnected automatically when discouraged.
  • Inbound connections from discouraged addresses are allowed if the connection number limit hasn't been reached yet.
  • Discouraged and banned addresses are not gossiped via AnnounceAddrRequest and are not included into AddrListResponse.
  • Discouraged addresses are stored in the peer db the same way as banned ones. This is different from what bitcoin core does, where discouraged addresses are kept in a non-persistent rolling bloom filter (which means that the discouragement time is determined by the node's uptime).
  • We no longer ban automatically.
  • When banning a peer manually, the user has to specify the duration explicitly. The duration is parsed via humantime crate, so it can be something like 1y (1 year) or 3M (3 months).
  • Printing banned or discouraged addresses in the wallet now also prints the expiration time.
  • Small improvements in printing of Time - instead of having a separate function as_standard_printable_time it now has custom implementations of Debug and Display. The implementations delegate printing to chrono::DateTime<Utc>, just like as_standard_printable_time, but also handle the case when Time is not representable via chrono::DateTime.
  • I also added rpc & wallet commands to print reserved peer addresses.

FYI: except for the TODO about naming, there is nothing new in this file, I've just moved PeerManagerConfig to a separate file.

Let's have a discussion about this at some point when you feel it's appropriate. Using words like "internal" can quickly become a mess.

First round looks good. I'll review again when you're done with the details we discussed.

Looks good.
I just have one question. Because of the bloom filter in bitcoin you cannot retrieve all the elements. I'm not sure what is exact reason in case of discouragement but we are doing this intentionally, right?
