Detailed Description

This is useful when keeping a cache of recent addresses for a peer that doesn't have a stable address.

Member Function Documentation

- (id) initWithIPAddress:

(IPAddress*)

addr

Initializes a RecentAddress from an IPAddress.

(You can also initialize RecentAddress using any inherited initializer method.)

- (BOOL) noteSuccess

Call this to indicate that the address was successfully used to connect to the desired peer.

Returns YES if the state of the object has changed and it should be re-archived.

- (BOOL) noteSeen

Call this to indicate that you have received evidence that this address is currently being used by this peer.

Unlike -noteSuccess it doesn't increment -successes, and only returns YES (to indicate a persistent change) once every 18 hours (to avoid making the client save its cache too often.)
