Testing BitTorrent and IPFS

[PHILIP CUMMINS]

Hello, i’ve tried to find some information on restrictions around what software can be tested, but i haven’t found any information related to IPFS or BitTorrent.

I am hoping to test peer discovery and data transfer between Fabric nodes. It is not required (indeed, preferred) for either of these pieces of software to connect to resources outside of Fabric.

I just thought i’d ask here before starting the experiment, please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks,

Thank you for your inquiry Philip.

You are welcome to conduct experiments involving IPFS or BitTorrent on FABRIC, particularly for evaluating peer discovery and data transfer between FABRIC nodes. This type of testing is permissible as long as it is confined to FABnet or a custom Layer 2 network within the FABRIC infrastructure.

We kindly request that your experiment not initiate connections to external BitTorrent or IPFS servers outside the FABRIC environment.

Please feel free to reach out if you need any assistance with the experiment setup or have further questions.

Best regards,

Komal
