Smartprogrammer.eth, a core developer of Ethereum, has submitted a new EIP request. The purpose of this EIP is to introduce a new version of the Ethereum peer-to-peer network handshake protocol (eth/69, the current protocol version is eth/68), which allows Ethereum nodes to communicate their available block ranges. This will enable nodes to make more optimized decisions when choosing who to connect to. This can also be seen as a step towards EIP-4444 (historical data expiration). It is understood that this EIP belongs to Networking EIPs, which are specific to optimizing the Ethereum peer-to-peer network.
