IdentifyTimeoutException class

Exception thrown when identify protocol negotiation times out.

This occurs when the remote peer doesn't respond to the identify protocol within the expected timeout window. Common causes:

  • Remote peer has gone offline
  • Network connectivity issues
  • Remote peer is overloaded and not responding

This exception is NOT a security failure - the peer may be valid but simply unreachable. Applications should handle this gracefully without crashing, typically by:

  • Logging the failure
  • Removing the peer from active connection pool
  • Retrying later with exponential backoff
