Summary
This PR introduces the
x-shadow
feature, which allows building Litep2p compatible with the Shadow network simulator.When this feature is enabled, outgoing socket binding is disabled to prevent address collisions that occur under Shadow, which otherwise lead to
AddrInUse
errors when connecting to remote peers.Changes
x-shadow
.Motivation
Under the Shadow simulator, each node runs in an isolated process namespace but shares the same IP address space.
Explicitly binding outgoing sockets may cause multiple nodes to use the same source address, resulting in
EADDRINUSE
collisions.The
x-shadow
feature resolves this by skipping the bind step for outgoing connections, ensuring stable network behavior in simulation.Compatibility
