DB and tunnel now have a separate refresh timer

Changes in the number of connection per peers

vifibnet.py Just contain the main loop and the init

utils.py Small functions to do some usefull job
db.py Function to manage peers
tunnel.py To choose wich connection delete/keep/...
upnpigd.py To open a port

Replace comments at the beginning of functions with docstrings & give all fn docstrings
Do a clean-up in the import
Remove the parameters to choose the number of clients
Use the server events ( client connection/deconnection ) to do something useful
Use the server events ( client connection/deconnection ) to do something usefull
In peers DB, remove some peers when they are too many of them
Contact the server using vifibnet and not the underlying network when possible
To be discuss:
Remove the --no-boot option since we know when no node is avalaible
\=> the no-boot option is only useful when the server knows no peer,
irl it should never happen, no-boot is a debug option

U : Remove the --no-boot option since we know when no node is avalaible
G : the no-boot option is only useful when the server knows no peer,
irl it should never happen, no-boot is a debug option
U : Ok, but the server knows when no peers is avalaible, doesn't he ?
How we choose which protocol we use :
IMO, we should use UDP. I've read many times than TCP other TCP can be catastrophic in terme of performance
Every time a packet is lost, it is resend 2 times, one for each TCP tunnel
And many GW allow UDP port forwarding (for bittorent, Xbox, ...) but not TCP port forwarding
Use peers_db.populate(100) every once in a while ? -> yes but be warry of the refresh time ( populate
the db once every 20s is bad.. )
Use peers_db.populate(100) every once in a while ?
G : yes but be warry of the refresh time ( populate the db once every 20s is bad.. )
U : I agree. Once evry hours should be sufficient, and when their too few peers avalaible.
G : don't reconnect to server each time we repopulate in peers_db ?
U : we might recontact the server evry 1H or even less. So i think it is a good thing not to keep the connection alive
