Now that we have a reliable way to detect inbound onion peers, this commit
updates our existing eviction protection of 1/4 localhost peers to instead
protect up to 1/4 onion peers (connected via our tor control service), sorted by
longest uptime. Any remaining slots of the 1/4 are then allocated to protect
localhost peers, or 2 localhost peers if no slots remain and 2 or more onion
peers are protected, sorted by longest uptime.
The goal is to avoid penalizing onion peers, due to their higher min ping times
relative to IPv4 and IPv6 peers, and improve our diversity of peer connections.
Thank you to Gregory Maxwell, Suhas Daftuar, Vasil Dimov and Pieter Wuille
for valuable review feedback that shaped the direction.
and an `m_is_onion` struct member to NodeEvictionCandidate and tests.
We'll use these in the peer eviction logic to protect inbound onion peers
in addition to the existing protection of localhost peers.
to allow deterministic unit testing of the ratio-based peer eviction protection
logic, which protects peers having longer connection times and those connected
via higher-latency networks.
Add documentation.
Introduce two new options to reach the I2P network:
* `-i2psam=<ip:port>` point to the I2P SAM proxy. If this is set then
the I2P network is considered reachable and we can make outgoing
connections to I2P peers via that proxy. We listen for and accept
incoming connections from I2P peers if the below is set in addition to
`-i2psam=<ip:port>`
* `-i2pacceptincoming` if this is set together with `-i2psam=<ip:port>`
then we accept incoming I2P connections via the I2P SAM proxy.
Isolate the second half of `CConnman::AcceptConnection()` into a new
separate method, which could be reused if we accept incoming connections
by other means than `accept()` (first half of
`CConnman::AcceptConnection()`).
Gossiping addresses to peers is the responsibility of net processing.
Change AdvertiseLocal() in net to just return an (optional) address
for net processing to advertise. Update function name to reflect
new responsibility.
Moves the logic to prevent running inactivity checks until
the peer has been connected for -peertimeout time into its
own function. This will be reused by net_processing later.

Pull request description:
This PR introduces per-peer message capture into Bitcoin Core. 📓
## Purpose
The purpose and scope of this feature is intentionally limited. It answers a question anyone new to Bitcoin's P2P protocol has had: "Can I see what messages my node is sending and receiving?".
## Functionality
When a new debug-only command line argument `capturemessages` is set, any message that the node receives or sends is captured. The capture occurs in the MessageHandler thread. When receiving a message, it is captured as soon as the MessageHandler thread takes the message off of the vProcessMsg queue. When sending, the message is captured just before the message is pushed onto the vSendMsg queue.
The message capture is as minimal as possible to reduce the performance impact on the node. Messages are captured to a new `message_capture` folder in the datadir. Each node has their own subfolder named with their IP address and port. Inside, received and sent messages are captured into two binary files, msgs_recv.dat and msgs_sent.dat, like so:
```
message_capture/203.0.113.7:56072/msgs_recv.dat
message_capture/203.0.113.7:56072/msgs_sent.dat
```
Because the messages are raw binary dumps, included in this PR is a Python parsing tool to convert the binary files into human-readable JSON. This script has been placed on its own and out of the way in the new `contrib/message-capture` folder. Its usage is simple and easily discovered by the autogenerated `-h` option.
## Future Maintenance
I sympathize greatly with anyone who says "the best code is no code".
The future maintenance of this feature will be minimal. The logic to deserialize the payload of the p2p messages exists in our testing framework. As long as our testing framework works, so will this tool.
Additionally, I hope that the simplicity of this tool will mean that it gets used frequently, so that problems will be discovered and solved when they are small.
## FAQ
"Why not just use Wireshark"
Yes, Wireshark has the ability to filter and decode Bitcoin messages. However, the purpose of the message capture added in this PR is to assist with debugging, primarily for new developers looking to improve their knowledge of the Bitcoin Protocol. This drives the design in a different direction than Wireshark, in two different ways. First, this tool must be convenient and simple to use. Using an external tool, like Wireshark, requires setup and interpretation of the results. To a new user who doesn't necessarily know what to expect, this is unnecessary difficulty. This tool, on the other hand, "just works". Turn on the command line flag, run your node, run the script, read the JSON. Second, because this tool is being used for debugging, we want it to be as close to the true behavior of the node as possible. A lot can happen in the SocketHandler thread that would be missed by Wireshark.
Additionally, if we are to use Wireshark, we are at the mercy of whoever it maintaining the protocol in Wireshark, both as to it being accurate and recent. As can be seen by the **many** previous attempts to include Bitcoin in Wireshark (google "bitcoin dissector") this is easier said than done.
Lastly, I truly believe that this tool will be used significantly more by being included in the codebase. It's just that much more discoverable.

This commit adds the CaptureMessage function. This will later be called
when any message is sent or received. The capture directory is fixed,
in a new folder "message_capture" in the datadir. Peers will then have
their own subfolders, named with their IP address and port, replacing
colons with underscores to keep compatibility with Windows. Inside,
received and sent messages will be captured into two binary files,
msgs_recv.dat and msgs_sent.dat.
e.g.
message_capture/203.0.113.7_56072/msgs_recv.dat
message_capture/203.0.113.7_56072/msgs_sent.dat
The format has been designed as to result in a minimal performance
impact. A parsing script is added in a later commit.
Also clean up and better comment the function. InactivityChecks() uses a
mixture of (non-mockable) system time and mockable time. Make sure
that's well documented.
Despite being marked as const in CConnman before this commit, the
function did mutate the state of the passed in CNode, which is contained
in vNodes, which is a member of CConnman. To make the function truly
const in CConnman and all its data, instead make InactivityChecks() a
pure function, return whether the peer should be disconnected, and let
the calling function (SocketHandler()) update the CNode object. Also
make the CNode& argument const.

5bc04e8837 [rpc/net] Introduce addconnection to test outbounds & blockrelay (Amiti Uttarwar)
Pull request description:
The existing functional test framework uses the `addnode` RPC to spin up manual connections between bitcoind nodes. This limits our ability to add integration tests for our networking code, which often executes different code paths for different connection types.
**This PR enables creating `outbound` & `block-relay-only` P2P connections in the functional tests.** This allows us to increase our p2p test coverage, since we can now verify expectations around these connection types.
This builds out the [prototype](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/14210#issuecomment-527421978) proposed by ajtowns in #14210. 🙌🏽
An overview of this branch:
- introduces a new test-only RPC function `addconnection` which initiates opening an `outbound` or `block-relay-only` connection. (conceptually similar to `addnode` but for different connection types & restricted to regtest)
- adds `test_framework` support so a mininode can open an `outbound`/`block-relay-only` connection to a `P2PInterface`/`P2PConnection`.
- updates `p2p_blocksonly` tests to create a `block-relay-only` connection & verify expectations around transaction relay.
- introduces `p2p_add_connections` test that checks the behaviors of the newly introduced `add_outbound_p2p_connection` test framework function.
With these changes, there are many more behaviors that we can add integration tests for. The blocksonly updates is just one example.
Huge props to ajtowns for conceiving the approach & providing me feedback as I've built out this branch. Also thank you to jnewbery for lots of thoughtful input along the way.

faecb74562 Expose integral m_conn_type in CNodeStats, remove m_conn_type_string (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
Currently, strings are stored for what are actually integral (strong) enum types. This is fine, because the strings are only used as-is for the debug log and RPC. However, it complicates using them in the GUI. User facing strings in the GUI should be translated and only string literals can be picked up for translation, not runtime `std::string`s.
Fix that by removing the `std::string` members and replace them by strong enum integral types.

Add a new RPC endpoint to enable opening outbound connections from
the tests. The functional test framework currently uses the addnode RPC, which
has different behavior than general outbound peers. These changes enable
creating both full-relay and block-relay-only connections. The new RPC
endpoint calls through to a newly introduced AddConnection method on
CConnman that ensures we stay within the allocated max.

It's not actually possible to change this value, so remove the
indirection of it being a conn option.
DEFAULT_MAX_UPLOAD_TIMEFRAME is a compile time constant.
To make eclipse attacks more difficult, regularly initiate outbound connections
and stay connected long enough to sync headers and potentially learn of new
blocks. If we learn a new block, rotate out an existing block-relay peer in
favor of the new peer.
This augments the existing outbound peer rotation that exists -- currently we
make new full-relay connections when our tip is stale, which we disconnect
after waiting a small time to see if we learn a new block. As block-relay
connections use minimal bandwidth, we can make these connections regularly and
not just when our tip is stale.
Like feeler connections, these connections are not aggressive; whenever our
timer fires (once every 5 minutes on average), we'll try to initiate a new
block-relay connection as described, but if we fail to connect we just wait for
our timer to fire again before repeating with a new peer.

Pull request description:
Fixes#19676, "_For every peer expose through getpeerinfo RPC whether or not we selected them as HB peers, and whether or not they selected us as HB peers._" See [BIP152](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0152.mediawiki), in particular the [protocol flow diagram](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/raw/master/bip-0152/protocol-flow.png). The newly introduced states are changed on the following places in the code:
* on reception of a `SENDCMPCT` message with valid version, the field `m_highbandwidth_from` is changed depending on the first integer parameter in the message (1=high bandwidth, 0=low bandwidth), i.e. it just mirrors the field `CNodeState.fPreferHeaderAndIDs`.
* after adding a `SENDCMPCT` message to the send queue, the field `m_highbandwidth_to` is changed depending on how the first integer parameter is set (same as above)
Note that after receiving `VERACK`, the node also sends `SENDCMPCT`, but that is only to announce the preferred version and never selects high-bandwidth mode, hence there is no need to change the state variables there, which are initialized to `false` anyways.

* second commit moves the `CONNECTION_TYPE_DOC` object out of the header file to reduce the size of the binary (suggested by MarcoFalke in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19725#discussion_r495467895, he tested and found a decrease of 10kB)

Pull request description:
This is an implementation of #17326:
- all (currently 2) outbound block-relay-only connections (#15759) are dumped to `anchors.dat` file
- on restart a node tries to connect to the addresses from `anchors.dat`
This PR prevents a type of eclipse attack when an attacker exploits a victim node restart to force it to connect to new, probably adversarial, peers.

Pull request description:
This replaces the transaction request logic with an encapsulated class that maintains all the state surrounding it. By keeping it stand alone, it can be easily tested (using included unit tests and fuzz tests).
The major changes are:
* Announcements from outbound (and whitelisted) peers are now always preferred over those from inbound peers. This used to be the case for the first request (by delaying the first request from inbound peers), and a bias afters. The 2s delay for requests from inbound peers still exists, but after that, if viable outbound peers remain for any given transaction, they will always be tried first.
* No more hard cap of 100 in flight transactions per peer, as there is less need for it (memory usage is linear in the number of announcements, but independent from the number in flight, and CPU usage isn't affected by it). Furthermore, if only one peer announces a transaction, and it has over 100 in flight already, we still want to request it from them. The cap is replaced with a rule that announcements from such overloaded peers get an additional 2s delay (possibly combined with the existing 2s delays for inbound connections, and for txid peers when wtxid peers are available).
* The limit of 100000 tracked announcements is reduced to 5000; this was excessive. This can be bypassed using the PF_RELAY permission (to accommodate locally dumping a batch of many transactions).
This replaces #19184, rebased on #18044 and with many small changes.

This PR adds ability to label incoming Tor connections as different from normal localhost connections.
Closes#8973.
Closes#16693.
Default onion service target ports are:
- 8334 on mainnnet
- 18334 on testnet
- 38334 on signet
- 18445 on regtest
To set the onion service target socket manually the extended `-bind` config option could be used:
```
$ src/bitcoind -help | grep -A 6 -e '-bind'
-bind=<addr>[:<port>][=onion]
Bind to given address and always listen on it (default: 0.0.0.0). Use
[host]:port notation for IPv6. Append =onion to tag any incoming
connections to that address and port as incoming Tor connections
(default: 127.0.0.1:8334=onion, testnet: 127.0.0.1:18334=onion,
signet: 127.0.0.1:38334=onion, regtest: 127.0.0.1:18445=onion)

2ea62cae48 Improve docs about feeler connections (Gleb Naumenko)
Pull request description:
"feeler" and "test-before-evict" are two different strategies suggest in [Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network](https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity15/sec15-paper-heilman.pdf). In our codebase, we use `ConnType::FEELER` to implement both.
It is confusing, up to the point that our documentation was just incorrect.
This PR:
- ~clarifies this aspect by renaming "ConnType::FEELER" to "ConnType::PROBE", meaning that this connections only probes that the node is operational, and then disconnects.~
- fixes the documentation

Pull request description:
Inspired by #15206 and #15197, this PR moves all message header verification from the message processing layer and into the network/transport layer.
In the previous PRs there is a change in behavior, where we would disconnect from peers upon a single failed checksum check. In various discussions there was concern over whether this was the right choice, and some expressed a desire to see how this would look if it was made to be a pure refactor.
For more context, see https://bitcoincore.reviews/15206.html#l-81.
This PR improves the separation between the p2p layers, helping improvements like [BIP324](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18242) and #18989.

After #19316, we can more directly expose information about the connection type on the `getpeerinfo` RPC. Doing so also makes the existing addnode field redundant, so this PR begins the process of deprecating this field.
This PR also includes one commit that improves a log message, as both use a shared function to return the connection type as a string.

This moves header size and netmagic checking out of net_processing and
into net. This check now runs in ReadHeader, so that net can exit early
out of receiving bytes from the peer. IsValid is now slimmed down, so
it no longer needs a MessageStartChars& parameter.
Additionally this removes the rest of the m_valid_* members from
CNetMessage.
This adds a CChainParams& member to V1TransportDeserializer member, and
use it in place of many Params() calls. In addition to reducing the
number of calls to a global, this removes a parameter from GetMessage
(and will later allow us to remove one from CMessageHeader::IsValid())
This commit removes the single-parameter contructor of CMessageHeader
and replaces it with a default constructor.
The single parameter contructor isn't used anywhere except for tests.
There is no reason to initialize a CMessageHeader with a particular
messagestart. This messagestart should always be replaced when
deserializing an actual message header so that we can run checks on it.
The default constructor initializes it to zero, just like the command
and checksum.
This also removes a parameter of a V1TransportDeserializer constructor,
as it was only used for this purpose.
This removes the m_valid_checksum member from CNetMessage. Instead,
GetMessage() returns an Optional.
Additionally, GetMessage() has been given an out parameter to be used to
hold error information. For now it is specifically a uint32_t used to
hold the raw size of the corrupt message.
The checksum check is now done in GetMessage.
This is intended to only be used for logging.
This will allow log messages in the following commits to keep recording
the peer's ID, even when logging is moved into V1TransportDeserializer.
In addition to adding more specificity to the log statement about the type of
connection, this change also consolidates two statements into one. Previously,
the second one should have never been hit, since block-relay connections would
match the "!IsInboundConn()" condition and return early.

Pull request description:
On master (6fef85bfa3) `CNode` has two members to keep protocol version:

- `nSendVersion` for messages to send
After exchanging with `VERSION` and `VERACK` messages via protocol version `INIT_PROTO_VERSION`, both nodes set `nRecvVersion` _and_ `nSendVersion` to _the same_ value which is the greatest common protocol version.
This PR:
- replaces two `CNode` members, `nRecvVersion` `nSendVersion`, with `m_greatest_common_version`
- removes duplicated getter and setter
There is no change in behavior on the P2P network.

f26502e9fc [addrman] Specify max addresses and pct when calling GetAddresses() (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Currently addrman only allows a maximum of 1000 records or 23% of all records to be returned in a call to `GetAddr()`. Relax this limit and have the client specify the max records they want. For p2p, behaviour is unchanged (but the rate limiting is set inside net_processing, where it belongs). For RPC, `getnodeaddresses` can now return the complete addrman, which is helpful for testing and monitoring.
Also add a test-only RPC `addpeeraddress`, which adds an IP address:port to addrman. This is helpful for testing (eg #18991).

3f1b7140e9 scripted-diff: Rename OneShot to AddrFetch (Amiti Uttarwar)
Pull request description:
**This is part 1 of #19315, which enables the ability to test `outbound` and `block-relay-only` connections from the functional tests.** Please see that PR for more information of overall functionality.
**This PR simplifies how we manage different connection types.** It introduces an enum with the various types of connections so we can explicitly define the connection type. The existing system relies on a series of independent flags, then has asserts scattered around to ensure that conflicting flags are not enabled at the same time. I find this approach to be both brittle and confusing. While making these changes, I found a small bug due to the silent assumptions.
This PR also proposes a rename from `OneShot` to `AddrFetch`. I find the name `OneShot` to be very confusing, especially when we also have `onetry` manual connections. Everyone I've talked to offline has agreed that the name is confusing, so I propose a potential alternative. I think this is a good opportunity for a rename since I'm creating an enum to explicitly define the connection types.
(some context for the unfamiliar: `oneshot` or `addrfetch` connections are short-lived connections created on startup. They connect to the seed peers, send a `getaddr` to solicit addresses, then close the connection.)
Overview of this PR:
* rename `oneshot` to `addrfetch`
* introduce `ConnectionType` enum
* one by one, add different connection types to the enum
* expose the `conn_type` on CNode, and use this to reduce reliance on flags (& asserts)
* fix the bug in counting different type of connections
* some additional cleanup to simplify logic and make expectations explicit/inclusive rather than implicit/exclusive.

Extract logic that check multiple connection types into interface functions &
structure as switch statements. This makes it very clear what touch points are
for accessing `m_conn_type` & using the switch statements enables the compiler
to warn if a new connection type is introduced but not handled for these cases.
Make the connection counts explicit and extract into interface functions around
m_conn_type. Using explicit counting and switch statements where possible
should help prevent counting bugs in the future.

Pull request description:
Using txids (a transaction's hash, without witness) for transaction relay is problematic, post-segwit -- if a peer gives us a segwit transaction that fails policy checks, it could be because the txid associated with the transaction is definitely unacceptable to our node (regardless of the witness), or it could be that the transaction was malleated and with a different witness, the txid could be accepted to our mempool.
We have a bloom filter of recently rejected transactions, whose purpose is to help us avoid redownloading and revalidating transactions that fail to be accepted, but because of this potential for witness malleability to interfere with relay of valid transactions, we do not use the filter for segwit transactions. This issue is discussed at some length in #8279. The effect of this is that whenever a segwit transaction that fails policy checks is relayed, a node would download that transaction from every peer announcing it, because it has no way presently to cache failure. Historically this hasn't been a big problem, but if/when policy for accepting segwit transactions were to change (eg taproot, or any other change), we could expect older nodes talking to newer nodes to be wasting bandwidth because of this.
As discussed in that issue, switching to wtxid-based relay solves this problem -- by using an identifier for a transaction that commits to all the data in our relay protocol, we can be certain if a transaction that a peer is announcing is one that we've already tried to process, or if it's something new. This PR introduces support for wtxid-based relay with peers that support it (and remains backwards compatible with peers that use txids for relay, of course).
Apart from code correctness, one issue to be aware of is that by downloading from old and new peers alike, we should expect there to be some bandwidth wasted, because sometimes we might download the same transaction via txid-relay as well as wtxid-relay. The last commit in this PR implements a heuristic I want to analyze, which is to just delay relay from txid-relay peers by 2 seconds, if we have at least 1 wtxid-based peer. I've just started running a couple nodes with this heuristic so I can measure how well it works, but I'm open to other ideas for minimizing that issue. In the long run, I think this will be essentially a non-issue, so I don't think it's too big a concern, we just need to bite the bullet and deal with it during upgrade.
Finally, this proposal would need a simple BIP describing the changes, which I haven't yet drafted. However, review and testing of this code in the interim would be welcome.
To do items:
- [x] Write BIP explaining the spec here (1 new p2p message for negotiating wtxid-based relay, along with a new INV type)
- [ ] Measure and evaluate a heuristic for minimizing how often a node downloads the same transaction twice, when connected to old and new nodes.

ec4c6a17e8 scripted-diff: replace MAX_BLOCKS_ONLY_CONNECTIONS with MAX_BLOCK_RELAY_ONLY_CONNECTIONS (glowang)
Pull request description:
We have two different concepts that have similar names: `-blocksonly` and `block-relay-only`, and the similarity of names could lead to confusion. `-blocksonly` disables all local receiving & relaying of transactions (with a few exceptions), while `block-relay-only`means that bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that are only used for block relay.
In net.h and init.cpp, `MAX_BLOCKS_ONLY_CONNECTIONS` is used to represent the maximum number of `block-relay-only` outbound peers, which is 2. But this name sounds ambiguous, and I proposed a better name, `MAX_BLOCK_RELAY_ONLY_CONNECTION`.

PushInventory() is currently called with a CInv object, which can be a
MSG_TX or MSG_BLOCK. PushInventory() only uses the type to determine
whether to add the hash to setInventoryTxToSend or
vInventoryBlockToSend.
Since the caller always knows what type of inventory they're pushing,
the CInv is wastefully constructed and thrown away, and tx/block relay
is being split out, we split the function into PushTxInventory() and
PushBlockInventory().

Pull request description:
In a few cases we need to use `std::mutex` rather than the sync.h primitives. But `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` doesn't include the clang thread safety annotations unless you also use clang's C library, which means you can't indicate when variables should be guarded by `std::mutex` mutexes.
This adds an annotated version of `std::lock_guard<std::mutex>` to threadsafety.h to fix that, and modifies places where `std::mutex` is used to take advantage of the annotations.
It's based on top of #16112, and turns the thread safety comments included there into annotations.
It also changes the RAII classes in wallet/wallet.h and rpc/blockchain.cpp to just use the atomic<bool> flag for synchronisation rather than having a mutex that doesn't actually guard anything as well.

a9ecbdfcaa test: add more inactive filter tests to p2p_filter.py (Sebastian Falbesoner)
5eae034996 net: limit BIP37 filter lifespan (active between 'filterload' and 'filterclear') (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
This PR fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/18483. On the master branch, there is currently _always_ a BIP37 filter set for every peer: if not a specific filter is set through a `filterload` message, a default match-everything filter is instanciated and pointed to via the `CBloomFilter` default constructor; that happens both initially, when the containing structure `TxRelay` is constructed:
c0b389b335/src/net.h (L812)
and after a loaded filter is removed again through a `filterclear` message:
c0b389b335/src/net_processing.cpp (L3201)
The behaviour was introduced by commit 37c6389c5a (an intentional covert fix for [CVE-2013-5700](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18515), according to gmaxwell).
This default match-everything filter leads to some unintended side-effects:
1. `getdata` request for filtered blocks (i.e. type `MSG_FILTERED_BLOCK`) are always responded to with `merkleblock`s, even if no filter was set by the peer, see issue #18483 (strictly speaking, this is a violation of BIP37) c0b389b335/src/net_processing.cpp (L1504-L1507)
2. if a peer sends a `filteradd` message without having loaded a filter via `filterload` before, the intended increasing of the banscore never happens (triggered if `bad` is set to true, a few lines below) c0b389b335/src/net_processing.cpp (L3182-L3186)
This PR basically activates the `else`-branch code paths for all checks of `pfilter` again (on the master branch, they are dead code) by limiting the pointer's lifespan: instead of always having a filter set, the `pfilter` is only pointing to a `CBloomFilter`-instance after receiving a `filterload` message and the instance is destroyed again (and the pointer nullified) after receiving a `filterclear` message.
Here is a before/after comparison in behaviour:
| code part / scenario | master branch | PR branch |
| --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `getdata` processing for `MSG_FILTERED_BLOCK` | always responds with `merkleblock` | only responds if filter was set via `filterload` |
| `filteradd` processing, no filter was loaded | nothing | peer's banscore increases by 100 (i.e. disconnect) |
On the other code parts where `pfilter` is checked there is no change in the logic behaviour (except that `CBloomFilter::IsRelevantAndUpdate()` is unnecessarily called and immediately returned in the master branch).
Note that the default constructor of `CBloomFilter` is only used for deserializing the received `filterload` message and nowhere else. The PR also contains a functional test checking that sending `getdata` for filtered blocks is ignored by the node if no bloom filter is set.

This PR attempts to solve the problem explained in #16599.
A particular attack which encouraged us to work on this issue is explained here [[Erebus Attack against Bitcoin Peer-to-Peer Network](https://erebus-attack.comp.nus.edu.sg/)] (by @muoitranduc)
Instead of relying on /16 prefix to diversify the connections every node creates, we would instead rely on the (ip -> ASN) mapping, if this mapping is provided.
A .map file can be created by every user independently based on a router dump, or provided along with the Bitcoin release. Currently we use the python scripts written by @sipa to create a .map file, which is no larger than 2MB (awesome!).
Here I suggest adding a field to peers.dat which would represent a hash of asmap file used while serializing addrman (or 0 for /16 prefix legacy approach).
In this case, every time the file is updated (or grouping method changed), all buckets will be re-computed.
I believe that alternative selective re-bucketing for only updated ranges would require substantial changes.
TODO:
- ~~more unit tests~~
- ~~find a way to test the code without including >1 MB mapping file in the repo.~~
- find a way to check that mapping file is not corrupted (checksum?)
- comments and separate tests for asmap.cpp
- make python code for .map generation public
- figure out asmap distribution (?)
~Interesting corner case: I’m using std::hash to compute a fingerprint of asmap, and std::hash returns size_t. I guess if a user updates the OS to 64-bit, then the hash of asap will change? Does it even matter?~

090b75c14b p2p: Avoid allocating memory for addrKnown where we don't need it (User)
Pull request description:
We should allocate memory for addrKnown filter only for those peers which are expected to participate in address relay.
Currently, we do it for all peers (including SPV and block-relay-only), which results in extra RAM where it's not needed.
Upd:
In future, we would still allow SPVs to ask for addrs, so allocation still will be done by default.
However, they will be able to opt-out via [this proposal](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2019-October/017428.html) and then we could save some more memory.
This PR still saves memory for block-relay-only peers immediately after merging.

Recent questions have come up regarding dynamic service registration
(see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16442#discussion_r308702676
and the assumeutxo project, which needs to dynamically flip NODE_NETWORK).
While investigating how dynamic service registration might work, I was
confused about how we convey local services to peers. This adds some
documentation that hopefully clarifies this process.

Pull request description:
Transaction relay is optimized for a combination of redundancy/robustness as well as bandwidth minimization -- as a result transaction relay leaks information that adversaries can use to infer the network topology.
Network topology is better kept private for (at least) two reasons:
(a) Knowledge of the network graph can make it easier to find the source IP of a given transaction.
(b) Knowledge of the network graph could be used to split a target node or nodes from the honest network (eg by knowing which peers to attack in order to achieve a network split).
We can eliminate the risks of (b) by separating block relay from transaction relay; inferring network connectivity from the relay of blocks/block headers is much more expensive for an adversary.
After this commit, bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that are only used for block relay. (In the future, we might consider rotating our transaction-relay peers to help limit the effects of (a).)

ACK 0ba08020c9 -- code review, ran tests. ran it on mainnet for a couple of days with MAX_BLOCKS_ONLY_CONNECTIONS upped from 2 to 16 and didn't observe any unexpected behaviour: it disconnected a couple of peers that tried sending inv's, and it successfully did compact block relay with some block relay peers.
TheBlueMatt:
re-utACK 0ba08020c9. Pointed out that stats.fRelayTxes was sometimes uninitialized for blocksonly peers (though its not a big deal and only effects RPC), which has since been fixed here. Otherwise changes are pretty trivial so looks good.

fa8548c5d1 net: Remove unused unsanitized user agent string CNode::strSubVer (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
I fail to see a use case for this unsanitized byte array. In fact this can easily be confused with `cleanSubVer` and be displayed to the user (or logged) by a simple typo that is hard to find in review.

This makes orphan processing work like handling getdata messages:
After every actual transaction validation attempt, interrupt

0297be61a Allow connections from misbehavior banned peers. (Gregory Maxwell)
Pull request description:
This allows incoming connections from peers which are only banned
due to an automatic misbehavior ban if doing so won't fill inbound.
These peers are preferred for eviction when inbound fills, but may
still be kept if they fall into the protected classes. This
eviction preference lasts the entire life of the connection even
if the ban expires.
If they misbehave again they'll still get disconnected.
The main purpose of banning on misbehavior is to prevent our
connections from being wasted on unhelpful peers such as ones
running incompatible consensus rules. For inbound peers this
can be better accomplished with eviction preferences.
A secondary purpose was to reduce resource waste from repeated
abuse but virtually any attacker can get a nearly unlimited
supply of addresses, so disconnection is about the best we can
do.
This can reduce the potential from negative impact due to incorrect misbehaviour bans.
