// Banman manages two related but distinct concepts:
//
// 1. Banning. This is configured manually by the user, through the setban RPC.
// If an address or subnet is banned, we never accept incoming connections from
// it and never create outgoing connections to it. We won't gossip its address
// to other peers in addr messages. Banned addresses and subnets are stored to
// banlist.dat on shutdown and reloaded on startup. Banning can be used to
// prevent connections with spy nodes or other griefers.
//
// 2. Discouragement. If a peer misbehaves enough (see Misbehaving() in
// net_processing.cpp), we'll mark that address as discouraged. We still allow
// incoming connections from them, but they're preferred for eviction when
// we receive new incoming connections. We never make outgoing connections to
// them, and do not gossip their address to other peers. This is implemented as
// a bloom filter. We can (probabilistically) test for membership, but can't
// list all discouraged addresses or unmark them as discouraged. Discouragement
// can prevent our limited connection slots being used up by incompatible
// or broken peers.
//
// Neither banning nor discouragement are protections against denial-of-service
// attacks, since if an attacker has a way to waste our resources and we
// disconnect from them and ban that address, it's trivial for them to
// reconnect from another IP address.
//
// Attempting to automatically disconnect or ban any class of peer carries the
// risk of splitting the network. For example, if we banned/disconnected for a
// transaction that fails a policy check and a future version changes the
// policy check so the transaction is accepted, then that transaction could
// cause the network to split between old nodes and new nodes.
