Thanks Matt, good work. The ckpool instances out there (public and the private one yet to become public) already use this and we're grateful.
I've been running the relay node client since Matt wrote it and it appears save a considerable amount of bandwidth (e.g. avoiding resending >95% of all transactions) which means faster block relaying and fewer orphans.
Plus, alternative transports make the network more robust e.g. some crazy firewall starts blocking the Bitcoin P2P network, the relay client may get through and prevent partitioning.
Great stuff.

I used to have a list of pools here, but it had gone unupdated in a long time and was very incomplete...essentially, most the major pools and large miners are connecting to the relay network in some capacity.
