Classes

AddrDelay: AddrDelay provides an address along with the delay after which the address should be dialed
Dialer: Dialer represents a service that can dial out to peers
EvtPeerConnectednessChanged
MultiaddrDNSResolver: MultiaddrDNSResolver resolves DNS multiaddrs
Network: Network is the interface used to connect to the outside world. It dials and listens for connections. it uses a Swarm to pool connections. Connections are encrypted with a TLS-like protocol.

Connectedness: Connectedness signals the capacity for a connection with a given node. It is used to signal to services and other peers whether a node is reachable.
Reachability: Reachability indicates how reachable a node is.

messageSizeMax → const int: MessageSizeMax is a soft (recommended) maximum for network messages. One can write more, as the interface is a stream. But it is useful to bunch it up into multiple read/writes when the whole message is a single, large serialized object.

DialRanker = List<AddrDelay> Function(List<MultiAddr> addrs): DialRanker provides a schedule of dialing the provided addresses
StreamHandler = Future<void> Function(P2PStream stream, PeerId remotePeer): StreamHandler is the type of function used to listen for streams opened by the remote side.
