论文摘要
行星际文件系统(IPFS)是一种新颖的分散存储体系结构,该架构试图通过构建P2P网络和内容寻址的创建原理来提供分散的云存储。 IPF每周超过230k的同行使用,每天提供数千万的请求,这使其成为一个有趣的大型运营网络。虽然它被用作多个项目和研究的构建基础,但其内部运作,属性和含义仅在研究中得到了详尽的探讨。因此,我们提供了IPFS设计及其核心功能的概述,以及它所打开的机会以及由于其特性而面临的挑战。总体而言,IPF提出了一套有趣的特征,并提供了教训,可以帮助建立未来的分散系统。
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a novel decentralised storage architecture, which attempts to provide decentralised cloud storage by building on founding principles of P2P networking and content addressing. IPFS is used by more than 230k peers per week and serves tens of millions of requests per day, which makes it an interesting large-scale operational network to study. While it is used as a building block in several projects and studies, its inner workings, properties, and implications have only been marginally explored in research. Thus, we provide an overview of the IPFS design and its core features, along with the opportunities that it opens as well as the challenges that it faces because of its properties. Overall, IPFS presents an interesting set of characteristics and offers lessons which can help building decentralised systems of the future.
