// the multiaddresses "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/0" and "/ip6/::/tcp/0";
//
// - If no transport options are provided, the node uses TCP, websocket and QUIC
// transport protocols;
//
// - If no multiplexer configuration is provided, the node is configured by
// default to use yamux;
//
// - If no security transport is provided, the host uses the go-libp2p's noise
// and/or tls encrypted transport to encrypt all traffic;
//
// - If no peer identity is provided, it generates a random Ed25519 key-pair
// and derives a new identity from it;
//
// - If no peerstore is provided, the host is initialized with an empty
// peerstore.
//
// To stop/shutdown the returned libp2p node, the user needs to call `Close` on the returned Host.
