Description

For those writing crawlers, it would useful to have an RPC call to download the known nodes of a given node, without restricting the search to the k closest nodes to a given ID. Would you consider adding an RPC call to download the k-buckets of a given node?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing RPC infrastructure in the codebase, understand how k buckets are stored, and implement a new RPC method that returns all k buckets without filtering by distance to a given ID.
