This makes network-level eclipse attacks much more expensive and/or infeasible. This goes nicely with our new ASN bucketing feature, which didn't exist when this code was written.
We are partially protected from these attacks from ASN bucketing, and when we implement feeler connections and test-before-evict, we will drastically increase our protection against eclipse attacks compared to any other coin.
