Description

Currently, Neptune core will go through bootstrap nodes and peer discovery every time it is started. Instead, any existing information about previous peers (currently in the “peer standings” database) should be used. This decreases the burden put on bootstrap nodes and should help to achieve full connectivity faster.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the peer standings database and the bootstrap process in the codebase to see how to reuse previous peers.
