Description
Motivation and Context
Observed a case where two nodes simultaneously dial and end up with no connections to each other due to a mis-timed peer disconnected event. The connection would have to wait for DHT connectivity to eventually redial to recover. Inactivity timeouts for messaging were a patch for the outbound messaging staying open, but this is not properly detected and handled.
How Has This Been Tested?
Existing tests updated
Manually: two base nodes that previously "lost" their connection due to this bug
