how to hold a connection for a long time

[thomas92911]

I have two ipfs nodes, A is in nat, B is public, I need B to do relay service to A.

So, I need to keep a long time connection between A and B.

How to do it

Now my approach is

A:
for {
     Ipfs swarm connect B
}

You can tag the connection if you are using a connection manager.
See Host.ConnManager().TagPeer() for the interface; you should pass the libp2p.ConnManager() option to the constructor.

^^ for now that's the way. I'm conceptualising a new connection manager interface that, amongst other things, will support time-locking connections, and getting callbacks when the lock expires.
