// freeClientPool implements a client database that limits the connection time
// of each client and manages accepting/rejecting incoming connections and even
// kicking out some connected clients. The pool calculates recent usage time
// for each known client (a value that increases linearly when the client is
// connected and decreases exponentially when not connected). Clients with lower
// recent usage are preferred, unknown nodes have the highest priority. Already
// connected nodes receive a small bias in their favor in order to avoid accepting
// and instantly kicking out clients.
//
// Note: the pool can use any string for client identification. Using signature
// keys for that purpose would not make sense when being known has a negative
// value for the client. Currently the LES protocol manager uses IP addresses
// (without port address) to identify clients.
