Awesome - thanks!

Right, I was only listing the minimally needed crates.

For a more complete feature set:

* cuckoofilter is needed for feature "floodsub"
* igd-next (and transitively attohttpc) are needed for feature "upnp"
* memory-stats is needed for feature "memory-connection-limits"

For more complete feature set of libp2p-identity, crates asn1_der and
k256 are needed.

For more complete test checking, crates redis, stun and webrtc are
needed.

Thanks. For libp2p specifically I am unaware of anything besides the
above. Please do tell if your offer exceeds libp2p, as then I have
a longer list ;-)

Thanks - I will do that.
