Okay, I read up on iroh. It has some really interesting stuff in it but I see an uncanny valley here.
It’s not simple enough to debug a connection failure easily, but it’s not magical enough to guarantee connectivity. Straight tcp with dns can be hard to debug; and no magical networking stack can really guarantee connectivity. I guess iroh’s strength is connectivity but I don’t know what happens if you can’t find a path.
The third dimension is privacy and anonymity, and I can’t tell if the story there is stronger than other p2p+relay protocols.
So it’s in the middle but at a different point in the space.
