// peerContainer contains information about the node's peers. This data structure
// maintains the metered peer data based on the different behaviours of the peers.
//
// Every peer has an IP address, and the peers that manage to make the handshake
// (known peers) have node IDs too. There can appear more peers with the same IP,
// therefore the peer container data structure is a tree consisting of a map of
// maps, where the first key groups the peers by IP, while the second one groups
// them by the node ID. The known peers can be active if their connection is still
// open, or inactive otherwise. The peers failing before the handshake (unknown
// peers) only have IP addresses, so their connection attempts are stored as part
// of the value of the outer map.
//
// Another criteria is to limit the number of metered peers so that
// they don't fill the memory. The selection order is based on the
// peers activity: the peers that are inactive for the longest time
// are thrown first. For the selection a fifo list is used which is
// linked to the bottom of the peer tree in a way that every activity
// of the peer pushes the peer to the end of the list, so the inactive
// ones come to the front. When a peer has some activity, it is removed
// from and reinserted into the list. When the length of the list reaches
// the limit, the first element is removed from the list, as well as from
// the tree.
//
// The active peers have priority over the inactive ones, therefore
// they have their own list. The separation makes it sure that the
// inactive peers are always removed before the active ones.
//
// The peers that don't manage to make handshake are not inserted into the list,
// only their connection attempts are appended to the array belonging to their IP.
// In order to keep the fifo principle, a super array contains the order of the
// attempts, and when the overall count reaches the limit, the earliest attempt is
// removed from the beginning of its array.
//
// This data structure makes it possible to marshal the peer
// history simply by passing it to the JSON marshaler.
