libp2p host example

What this does

This example can be started in either listen mode, or dial mode. When running as a listener, it will sit and wait for incoming connections on the /hello/1.0.0 protocol. Whenever it receives a stream, it will write the message "hello libp2p" over the stream and close it. When run in dial mode, the node will start up, connect to the given address, open a stream to the target peer, and read a message on the protocol /hello/1.0.0

Building

$ go build

Usage

In one terminal:

$ ./hosts -l 4737

In another, copy the address printed by the listener and do:

$ ./hosts -d ADDRESS
