Detailed Description

A dialable transport address (ip + port).

The single ip+port endpoint type used throughout the library — by the node layer (dialing, peer info, reconnection) and by the lower-level engines (DHT, BitTorrent trackers, STUN/TURN). It lives in core/ because it is a foundational transport primitive that every layer above depends on.

ip holds a bare IP literal or hostname (no brackets). IPv4/hostname endpoints serialise as host:port; IPv6 endpoints serialise in bracketed [ip]:port form so the colons in the address are never confused with the port separator. parse() accepts both forms and is the exact inverse of to_string().
