This series of articles first studies the core concepts of P2P networks and then analyzes application examples in the libp2p-rust library in detail, laying a solid foundation for future development of P2P network applications. P2P Network P2P (Peer-to-Peer) is a network technology that allows different computers in a network to share various computing resources, such … Read more
In the article <<Rust P2P Network Application Practical – 1 P2P Core Concepts and Ping Program>>, we introduced the core concepts of P2P networks and analyzed a simple P2P Ping application using the libp2p library. In this article, we will analyze a slightly more complex P2P chat program. This chat program adds a node auto-discovery … Read more
Starting from this article, we will enter the practical project phase, a file-sharing project based on a P2P network. This project uses Kademlia and the request-response protocol to build a basic file-sharing application, which can locate and retrieve files by their names. Basic Requirements Assume there are three nodes, A, B, and C. A and … Read more
