// Package peers provides information about peers at the Ethereum protocol level.
// "Protocol level" is the level above the network level, so this layer never sees or interacts with (for example) hosts that are
// uncontactable due to being down, firewalled, etc.  Instead, this works with peers that are contactable but may or may not be of
// the correct fork version, not currently required due to the number of current connections, etc.
//
// A peer can have one of a number of states:
//
// - connected if we are able to talk to the remote peer
// - connecting if we are attempting to be able to talk to the remote peer
// - disconnecting if we are attempting to stop being able to talk to the remote peer
// - disconnected if we are not able to talk to the remote peer
//
// For convenience, there are two aggregate states expressed in functions:
//
// - active if we are connecting or connected
// - inactive if we are disconnecting or disconnected
//
// Peer information is persistent for the run of the service.  This allows for collection of useful long-term statistics such as
// number of bad responses obtained from the peer, giving the basis for decisions to not talk to known-bad peers.
