Materials for my Master's thesis work.
The Bitswap strategy simulator repository is closely related to this work -- see here.
The strategy analysis Mathematica notebook sets up the
problem simulated by strategy-sim symbolically and finds the solutions
analytically. At the moment, only the linear reciprocation function is supported
in this notebook, as other reciprocation functions (e.g. Tanh) make the
problem intractable.
This is in-progress, and can be found here.
The bitswap-tests repo uses
IPTB to run tests related to Bitswap strategies.
This repo is in its early stages, but currently just wraps IPTB calls in shell
scripts. In particular, we spin up Docker nodes running IPFS instances, connect
the nodes based on some topology, have them exchange data, and measure the
Bitswap state during/after the data exchange.
An older analysis that uses a now deprecated game-theoretical model of Bitswap can be found here.
