• Some net_processing clean ups #20758 - current is removing g_cs_orphans lock and related changes #21527
• dandelion
  • considering "dandelion-lite" (stem for exactly one hop, the flood -- no p2p changes required)
  • question is whether that provides enough benefits to be worthwhile? answer: simulate and see!
  • Giulia's updated https://github.com/gfanti/dandelion-simulations/tree/dandelion-lite ; some ensuing discussion on twitter https://twitter.com/giuliacfanti/status/1362963585471815680

• Move application layer data from net to net_processing:

  • The next PRs in the series are built on #21527 (net_processing: lock clean up)
• Review tx rebroadcast #21061
• Clean up addrman:
  • #20233 makes consistency checks a runtime option, so they can be used in unit/functional/fuzz tests (currently WIP)
• Review AJ's general cleanups #20758
