Experiments in libp2p connectivity

libp2p Go binaries for testing p2p connectivity. I mostly rely on having out-of-band methods for sharing connection details, so discovery is not something I'm testing much. Since libp2p was developed within the context of global p2p connectivity, I'm curious if it smoothly supports local-first and friend-to-friend network architectures like those of the Scuttleverse (no DHT by default and use of relay facilitated connections ("pubs", rooms)).

Build

go build -v .

Public to public (IPv4)

One one VPS with a public IPv4 address:

./pear

And one the other VPS (using the public IPv4 multiaddr of the other peer):

./pear <multiaddr>

Local-first

On your local machine:

./pear

And again, on your local (using the 127.0.0.1 multiaddr of the other peer):

./pear -p 9001 <multiaddr>
