@jxs this already got an approving review over on umgefahren#1 but it wouldn't hurt if you took a look at it before merging. |

Nice work @umgefahren ! This has been vetted extensively in your fork already, so good to go from my end.

Closes: libp2p#4524 This is the implementation of the evolved AutoNAT protocol, named AutonatV2 as defined in the [spec](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/03718ef0f2dea4a756a85ba716ee33f97e4a6d6c/autonat/autonat-v2.md). The stabilization PR for the spec can be found under libp2p/specs#538. The work on the Rust implementation can be found in the PR to my fork: umgefahren#1. The implementation has been smoke-tested with the Go implementation (PR: libp2p/go-libp2p#2469). The new protocol addresses shortcomings of the original AutoNAT protocol: - Since the server now always dials back over a newly allocated port, this made libp2p#4568 necessary; the client can be sure of the reachability state for other peers, even if the connection to the server was made through a hole punch. - The server can now test addresses different from the observed address (i.e., the connection to the server was made through a `p2p-circuit`). To mitigate against DDoS attacks, the client has to send more data to the server than the dial-back costs. Pull-Request: libp2p#5526.

Description
Closes: #4524
This is the implementation of the evolved AutoNAT protocol, named AutonatV2 as defined in the spec.
The stabilization PR for the spec can be found under libp2p/specs#538.
The work on the Rust implementation can be found in the PR to my fork: umgefahren#1.
The implementation has been smoke-tested with the Go implementation (PR: libp2p/go-libp2p#2469).
The new protocol addresses shortcomings of the original AutoNAT protocol:
p2p-circuit). To mitigate against DDoS attacks, the client has to send more data to the server than the dial-back costs.Notes & open questions
Notes
IPv4 & IPv6
There are open questions on how to handle cases where a client is only reachable over IPv4 or IPv6, but the server is connected to a network with an incompatible IP family.
Relevant comments in the other PR:
The decision was made to ship the improvement in a later version, when we know more about the issue. It's still an improvement over AutoNATv1.
Handling these cases would be easier once rust-lang/rust#86442 is merged.
Picking algorithm
The spec proposes a picking algorithm for the address tested by the server. At the moment, the server is just using the first address sent by the client. An improvement to this algorithm can be implemented later.
