> Tor https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh-tor-transport you are using a Tor daemon in it. tor has a rust implementation and when used with rust has stream objects etc. an example of how it's used can be found in https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/oniux

We have an answer, but it isn't really clever. We do have both built in and pluggable address lookup services. Our default enabled address lookup service is using DNS in a creative way, but we also have a service that is fully peer to peer and is using the mainline DHT, specifically the bep_0044 extension that allows you to store a tiny bit of arbitrary data for an Ed keypair that you control. https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0044.html https://pkarr.org Some custom transports such as TOR hidden services have a discovery system built in. In these cases we can just use the existing discovery system. See for example https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh-tor-transport
