Fingerprinting nodes via addr requests

The communication highlights the capability of certain networks to identify and link node addresses across different network platforms. Upon providing an address on one network, the entities operating these networks can determine the corresponding node address on another network. This ability signifies a level of interconnectedness and information sharing that may not be immediately apparent to users or operators within these systems.

Such a feature could have implications for privacy, data integrity, and the broader understanding of how disparate network systems interact and share information. It raises questions about the mechanisms behind this cross-network identification process and the potential uses or misuses of this capability. The confirmation of this phenomenon adds a layer of complexity to our understanding of network operations and the flow of information across seemingly independent platforms.
