v0.2-filesharing

Filesharing Track: Testnet v0.2 §

Deliverables §

1. New Block Protocol §

A simpler, faster, more predictable and easier to understand block protocol for Logos Storage. Should serve as a stable basis upon which to build a mixified version.

FURPS: Serving Frontends, Modules, and Files

1. [F1-F4]: Covers all functional requirements for file sharing (see FURPS for more details).
2. [U5]: Specs. The set of services, protocols and primitives making up the filesharing client are published as specifications.
3. [R1]: Correctness. If the network is eventually stable and the content is available, then downloads should always complete.
4. [P1]: Baseline. File downloads should perform comparably to Bittorrent, e.g., not less that $50\%$ of the performance of, say, Deluge.

FURPS: Enhanced Filesharing Protocol

1. Covers all aspects of it.

2. Better NAT Traversal §

Logos Storage needs better support for traversing NATs. This deliverable is about leveraging the full capabilities offered by libp2p to provide easier-to-configure (or zero-config, depending on the case) networking.

FURPS: Serving Frontends, Modules, and Files

1. [U3]: Zero-config networking. Within the possibilities of current technology, user should not have to take any extra steps; e.g. opening ports on a router, to get file sharing working.[^1]
