Motivation
Slotting the connections of the p2p network into types ( incoming, outgoing, discovered and check_peers) and set a limit for each, in order to avoid cross-flooding of features by malicious attackers, which may jam all types of connections by flooding one type.
Acceptance Criteria
The full node must accept at most N incoming connections.
The full node must open at most M outgoing connections to verified entry points.
The full node must keep at most P connections to discovered peers.
The full node must have slots available to check for untrusted entry points.
The full node must cycle through outgoing and incoming connections. (this one was demoted in a meeting, to be its own pr/rfc).
