Passively Measuring IPFS Churn and Network Size
Abstract
The InterPlanetary File System~(IPFS) is a popular decentralized peer-to-peer network for exchanging data. While there are many use cases for IPFS, the success of these use cases depends on the network. In this paper, we provide a passive measurement study of the IPFS network, investigating peer dynamics and curiosities of the network. With the help of our measurement, we estimate the network size and confirm the results of previous active measurement studies.
