Note: git history prior to merging into js-libp2p can be found in the original repository, https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p-identify.

Description

Identify is a STUN protocol, used by libp2p in order to broadcast and learn about the ip:port pairs a specific peer is available through and to know when a new stream muxer is established, so a conn can be reused.

How does it work

The spec for Identify and Identify Push is at libp2p/specs.
