Yeah, that I2P example felt a bit off-base. Nodes self-announce their (network-respective) address for each network they support to each peer after establishing a connection, i.e., on clearnet, a node will announce its clearnet address to peers. Such peers may then forward the address when they get asked for a batch of addresses by another node. I don’t remember whether nodes only gossip addresses of the respective network on each network, or whether they generally gossip addresses from all addresses (probably the latter?), but a node that doesn’t use I2P wouldn’t announce an I2P address, so we’d never try to connect to it with I2P.

Because you mention it, yes, I'm quite sure that it is, because you either have a listening i2p interface or you don't, but I didn't feel like dwelling on it, haha.
