Eth/69 - Use earliestBlock and latestBlock of Status Message to better find suitable peers #8475
Closed as not planned
Description
Every time we connect to a peer during sync, we request its head to confirm that peer has the block we need and disconnect if it does not.
With eth/69 we can skip this since the block range is announced in the status message.
This issue should design and implement a solution/strategy using the new peer information and replace the current strategy.
