Fixes #7427.
This PR monkey-patches the
Community.guess_address
method to add 5-second caching of its results.It allows to speed up
EdgeWalk.take_step()
(that sometimes blocks the asyncio loop) by 100 times from 3 seconds to 0.03 seconds.The next version of IPv8 is expected to include proper caching, so this patch can be removed after upgrading to a version of IPv8 that natively implements caching.
