//! # Peer Discovery
//!
//! Gossipsub does not provide peer discovery by itself. Peer discovery is the process by which
//! peers in a p2p network exchange information about each other among other reasons to become resistant
//! against the failure or replacement of the
//! [boot nodes](https://docs.libp2p.io/reference/glossary/#boot-node) of the network.
//!
//! Peer
//! discovery can e.g. be implemented with the help of the [Kademlia](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/kad-dht/README.md) protocol
//! in combination with the [Identify](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/tree/master/identify) protocol. See the
//! Kademlia implementation documentation for more information.
