A new PR Review Club episode!
We reviewed PR #27374, exploring the exclusion of 'netgroup' diversity checking for tor/i2p/cjdns networks.
This PR allows the node to bypass netgroup diversity checks for outbound connections in privacy networks as IP address diversity isn't applicable to them.
In this episode, PR author @spherostrat helped us explore:
- P2P Networks
- Netgroup Basics
- Outbound Peer-Selection Logic
- Eclipse Attacks
Her engaging whiteboard presentation brought these concepts to life!
