Enhanced Peer Discovery with STUN and Prioritized Scanning

This update significantly improves peer discovery, especially for users behind NATs and firewalls.

Key Improvements:

  • STUN Integration: Now uses STUN to discover external IP addresses, enabling connections with peers on the wider internet.
  • Prioritized Scanning: Prioritizes scanning local and nearby networks (based on STUN results) for faster discovery.
  • Common ISP Range Scanning: Includes scanning of common residential and ISP IP ranges to enhance basic discovery, even if STUN fails.
  • TCP Socket Configuration: Configures TCP sockets for improved connection performance (e.g., TCP_NODELAY).
  • Peer Information Exchange: Exchanges peer lists with connected nodes to discover even more peers.

Benefits:

  • More Reliable NAT Traversal: Significantly improves connections for users behind NATs.
  • Faster Discovery: Prioritized scanning finds peers more quickly.
  • Broader Reach: STUN and wider range scanning increase the number of discoverable peers.

This update makes peer discovery more robust, efficient, and suitable for real-world network conditions.
