From ab295bb4be26939e4853b9d95a9938c5ed8afa57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregory Maxwell Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2016 23:42:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Do not add random inbound peers to addrman. We should learn about new peers via address messages. An inbound peer connecting to us tells us nothing about its ability to accept incoming connections from us, so we shouldn't assume that we can connect to it based on this. The vast majority of nodes on the network do not accept incoming connections, adding them will only slow down the process of making a successful connection in the future. Nodes which have configured themselves to not announce would prefer we not violate their privacy by announcing them in GETADDR responses. --- src/main.cpp | 6 ------ 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/main.cpp b/src/main.cpp index 0b8588efa..40f2fffe7 100644 --- a/src/main.cpp +++ b/src/main.cpp @@ -5057,12 +5057,6 @@ bool static ProcessMessage(CNode* pfrom, string strCommand, CDataStream& vRecv, pfrom->fGetAddr = true; } addrman.Good(pfrom->addr); - } else { - if (((CNetAddr)pfrom->addr) == (CNetAddr)addrFrom) - { - addrman.Add(addrFrom, addrFrom); - addrman.Good(addrFrom); - } } pfrom->fSuccessfullyConnected = true;
