I'll be honest I don't love this PR.
We're letting the ban periods be configurable per node which is okay, but then we're passing those periods around anytime we need to fetch reasons for a ban. These reasons don't actually need to know the configuration details.
On the BanReason struct, we could use an enum to define the expected ban duration. BanDuration::Short, BanDuration::Long and BanDuration::Permenant.
This makes it easy to manage in different services without creating a heavy requirement of config details. Once the BanReason reaches the ConnectivityManager, it can read the enum, and apply the correct configuration. The ConnectivityManager is the only one that needs to be able to translate that a BanDuration::Short means 60 seconds.

It's a lot cleaner
I would personally try to go one step closer, and get the timing config into the ConnectivityManager so ban_peer_until can take the BanReason and we still don't need to destructure the duration until inside ban_peer_until
ConnectivityManager is brought up with the CommsNode spawn. So we have lots of config options at hand, and which we could pass directly to the ConnectivityManager.
At the point the destructure is managed by the ConnectivityManager it can be a simple helper function. Pass in the BanDuration enum, and receive a Duration as the return.

I am going to leave the config to move to this issue:#5933 |
