The benefit of a p2p network is that clients can do ip banning themselves, clients can see ip addresses from other users (like bitcoin!). On nostr, clients can’t see src ip on incoming notes. This is a nice privacy feature, but prevents clients from doing ip based spam filtering.
Relays *could* pass note source ip info in websocket responses, but i feel like a lot of people wouldn’t like that 😅
